Black Hole Thermodynamics in Carathéodory's Approach

arXiv:gr-qc/0210020 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(03)00685-6

Abstract

We show that, in the framework of Carathéodory's approach to thermodynamics, one can implement black hole thermodynamics by realizing that there exixts a quasi-homogeneity symmetry of the Pfaffian form $\deq$ representing the infinitesimal heat exchanged reversibly by a Kerr-Newman black hole; this allow us to calculate readily an integrating factor, and, as a consequence, a foliation of the thermodynamic manifold can be recovered.
