A Universal Relation Between Corrections to Entropy and Extremality

Abstract

Perturbative corrections to General Relativity alter the expressions for both the entropy of black holes and their extremality bounds. We prove a universal relation between the leading corrections to these quantities. The derivation is purely thermodynamic and the result also applies beyond the realm of gravitational systems. In scenarios where the correction to the entropy is positive, our result proves that the perturbations decrease the mass of extremal black holes, when holding all other extensive variables fixed in the comparison. This implies that the extremality relations of a wide class of black holes display Weak Gravity Conjecture-like behavior.

arXiv comment5 pages. v2: Central derivation improved. Now contains an exact relation which subsumes previous result. Rewritten to reflect this change. References updated
