Second Law Violations in Lovelock Gravity for Black Hole Mergers
Sudipta Sarkar, Aron C. Wall
We study the classical second law of black hole thermodynamics, for Lovelock theories (other than General Relativity), in arbitrary dimensions. Using the standard formula for black…

The Generalized Second Law implies a Quantum Singularity Theorem
Aron C. Wall
The generalized second law can be used to prove a singularity theorem, by generalizing the notion of a trapped surface to quantum situations. Like Penrose's original singularity th…

A proof of the generalized second law for rapidly-evolving Rindler horizons
Aron C. Wall
The generalized second law is proven for rapidly-evolving semiclassical Rindler horizons at each instant of time, for arbitrary interacting quantum fields minimally coupled to gene…
