Black Hole Thermodynamics: General Relativity and Beyond
arXiv:1905.04466 · doi:10.1007/s10714-019-2545-y
Abstract
Black holes have often provided profound insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of space-time. The study of the mathematical properties of black objects is a major research theme of contemporary theoretical physics. This review presents a comprehensive survey of the various versions of the first law and second law of black hole mechanics in general relativity and beyond. The emphasis is to understand how these laws can constrain the physics beyond general relativity.
