Entropy increase during physical processes for black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity

چکیده
We study quasistationary physical process for black holes within the context of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We show that the Wald entropy of the stationary black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity monotonically increases for quasistationary physical processes in which the horizon is perturbed by the accretion of positive energy matter and the black hole ultimately settles down to a stationary state. This result reinforces the physical interpretation of Wald entropy for Lanczos-Lovelock models and takes a step towards proving the analogue of the black hole area increase theorem in a wider class of gravitational theories.

Two Aspects of Black hole entropy in Lanczos-Lovelock models of gravity
We consider two specific approaches to evaluate the black hole entropy which are known to produce correct results in the case of Einstein’s theory and generalize them to LanczosLovelock models. In the first approach (which could be called extrinsic) we use a procedure motivated by earlier work by Pretorius, Vollick and Israel, and by Oppenheim, and evaluate the entropy of a configuration of den...
متن کاملIs gravitational entropy quantized?
In Einstein’s gravity, the entropy of horizons is proportional to their area. Several arguments given in the literature suggest that, in this context, both area and entropy should be quantized with an equallyspaced spectrum for large quantum numbers. But in more general theories (like, for example, in the black hole solutions of Gauss-Bonnet or Lanczos-Lovelock gravity) the horizon entropy is n...
متن کاملThermodynamic Gravity And The Emergence of Space With Geometry
Thermodynamic aspects of black holes and Rindler horizons are reviewed along with quantum field theory in the corresponding curved spacetimes. The implication that gravity might be thermodynamic in origin is considered. Macroscopic space is seen to emerge at a course-grained limit via the application of holography in the context of horizons. Both Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity are seen (sepe...
متن کاملDirty black holes: Entropy versus area.
Considerable interest has recently been expressed in the entropy versus area relationship for “dirty” black holes — black holes in interaction with various classical matter fields, distorted by higher derivative gravity, or infested with various forms of quantum hair. In many cases it is found that the entropy is simply related to the area of the event horizon: S = kAH/(4l 2 P ). For example, t...
متن کاملThe phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
