Revisit on thermodynamics of BTZ black hole with variable Newton constant

The thermodynamics of the BTZ black holes are revisited with variable Newton constant. A new pair of conjugated variables, the central charge $C$ and the chemical potential $\mu$, is introduced as thermodynamic variables. The first law of thermodynamics and the Euler relation, instead of the Smarr relation in the extended phase space formalism, are matched perfectly in this formalism. Compatible with standard extensive thermodynamics, the black hole mass is verified to be a first order homogeneous function of the related extensive variables, and restores the role of internal energy. In addition, the heat capacity has also resulted in a first order homogeneous function in this formalism as we expected, and an asymptotic behavior in high temperature limit is shown intriguingly. The non-negatively of heat capacity indicates that the rotating and charged BTZ black holes are thermodynamically stable.
