Abstract
For any K(= 2k+1)th-order Lovelock gravity with fine-tuned Lovelock couplings, we demonstrate
the existence of a special isolated critical point characterized by non-standard critical exponents in
the phase diagram of hyperbolic vacuum black holes. In the Gibbs free energy this corresponds to
a place wherefrom two swallowtails emerge, giving rise to two first-order phase transitions between
small and large black holes. We believe that this is a first example of a critical point with non-
standard critical exponents obtained in a geometric theory of gravity.
