Boundary Terms and Noether Current of Sphereical Black Holes
arXiv:gr-qc/9811076 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.60.084004
Abstract
We consider two proposals for defining black hole entropy in spherical symmetry, where the horizon is defined locally as a trapping horizon. The first case, boundary terms in a dual-null form of the reduced action in two dimensions, gives a result that is proportional to the area. The second case, Wald's Noether current method, is generalized to dynamic black holes, giving an entropy that is just the area of the trapping horizon. These results are compared with a generalized first law of thermodynamics.
