By analyzing the semiclassical partition function we uncover a rich structure that includes Hawking-Page transitions to the AdS3 vacuum, first order phase transitions among black hole states, and a second order critical point. Our analysis is explicit for N=4 but we extrapolate some of our conclusions to arbitrary N. In particular, we argue that even N is stable in the ensemble under consideration but odd N is not. © 2017 American Physical Society.enArtículoCC BY 4.0 DEED Atribución 4.0 Internacional10.1103/PhysRevD.96.046017
