Introduction to Black Hole Microscopy
Theodore A. Jacobson
The aim of these notes is both to review the standard understanding of the Hawking effect, and to discuss the modifications to this understanding that might be required by new phys…
Thermodynamics of Spacetime: The Einstein Equation of State
Ted Jacobson
The Einstein equation is derived from the proportionality of entropy and horizon area together with the fundamental relation connecting heat, entropy, and temperature. The…
Increase of Black Hole Entropy in Higher Curvature Gravity
Ted Jacobson, Gungwon Kang, Robert C. Myers
We examine the Zeroth Law and the Second Law of black hole thermodynamics within the context of effective gravitational actions including higher curvature interactions. We show tha…
BLACK HOLE ENTROPY IN HIGHER CURVATURE GRAVITY
TED JACOBSON, GUNGWON KANG, ROBERT C. MYERS
We discuss some recent results on black hole thermodynamics within the context of effective gravitational actions including higher-curvature interactions. Wald's derivation of the…
Spinor One-forms as Gravitational Potentials
Roh Suan Tung, Ted Jacobson
General relativity is derived from an action which is quadratic in the covariant derivative of certain spinor one-form gravitational potentials. Either a pair of 2-component spinor…
