1 Introduction
In accordance with the no-hair theorem [1,2], in three dimensions there are no asymptotically flat black hole
solutions for pure gravity. Indeed, the Riemann tensor is purely a function of the Ricci tensor and metric
Rαβγσ(Rµν , gµν ) on this manifold. Then, no solutions emerge unless the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented
with a negative cosmological constant, as considered by Ba˜nados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ), who first found
the BTZ black hole solution [3,4], which have been extensively studied [5–10]. The procedure for overcome the
no-hair theorem consists the coupling the other fields to Einstein-Hilbert action minimally, non-minimally or
conformally [2,11–16]. A further way to circumvent the no-hair theorem is by considering higher-derivative
gravities [17–19], this has been successfully done in D= 3 + 1 dimensions [20–26].
Here we show the construction of the hairy family black hole solution. We begin by integrating the metric
functions, then the scalar field φ, and finally the scalar potential V(φ). This method is the on-shell procedure,
and it was extensively applied in [27–30]. In summary, we present a family of hairy black hole solutions in
three dimensions with a non-trivial scalar potential minimally coupling. This scalar field contributes to the
metric and, therefore, to the thermodynamics of the black hole. In [31] was discovered the existence of the first
order Hawking-Page phase transitions and their respective dual interpretations [32], based on the conjecture
AdS/CF T [33–35], this led to a great deal of activity in research on black hole phase transitions [36–40]. It
is known that the scalar hair can have relevant effects on phase diagrams. Here [36,41,42] they have shown a
window of parameters in which the asymptotically flat, hairy black holes are stable. These last results encour-
age us to study the phase diagrams of our family of hairy black holes. In general, the most interesting phase
diagrams can be found in the context of V dP formalism [41,43–45], but we focused on phase diagrams with a
fixed cosmological constant. [36,37,40,42,46]
Recently, hairy solutions in D= 3 + 1 was embed in omega-deformed gauged N= 8 supergravity [47], and
the explicit construction of the hairy solution from N= 2 supergravity was demonstrated [48,49]. These last
results open the possibility of finding the supergravity origin of our solution. Many solutions with different
conformal masses can be found in the literature [50–52], in our case, we have an interesting example with a
conformal mass m2=−1/L2that saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound m2
BF =−1/L2.
The well-posed variational principle ensures the construction of the counterterms for the scalar field, allow-
ing us to obtain the finite on-shell action[53]. In the context of supergravity theories, the theorem of positive
energy is ensured by the existence of a superpotential[54–56], curiously, in [57] they proposed a superpotential
as a counterterm; the problem is that in general, we cannot construct this superpotential exactly. The goal of
[58] was to develop a thermal superpotential that considered the black hole horizon’s existence. This thermal
superpotential is easier to construct, and similarly to [49,59] we use it to regularize the on-shell action and the
Brown-York quasilocal stress tensor [60]
We structure this work in the following way. Section 2describes the theory’s action, as well as the poten-
tial V(φ) and its stability conditions, which allow us to avoid the non-hair theorem. We show an exact hairy
solution in the section 3; we also consider the horizon existence conditions, the thermal superpotential, and
the asymptotic AdS boundary symmetry for the scalar field. In the middle part, section 4, we get the finite
on-shell action, and the goal is the construction of the counterterm for the scalar field. In the section 5we build
the quasilocal stress tensor properly regularized by two different methods. In the last two sections, 6and 7we
study the thermodynamics, show the conclusions, and discuss future directions.
