Thermodynamic stability from Lorentzian path integrals and codimension-two singularities by Hong Zhe Vincent Chen

“…One can then ask whether this contour can be deformed to pick up nontrivial contributions from various saddle points. In Einstein-Maxwell theory, we argue that the relevance of each black hole saddle to the thermal partition function depends on its thermodynamic stability against variations in energy, angular momentum, and charge. …”
