Kinetic Theory of Carroll Hydrodynamics
Victor Chabirand, Adrien Fiorucci, P. Marios Petropoulos +1
We develop the foundations of Carrollian statistical mechanics by considering a system of interacting instantonic space-filling branes on a flat background, thereby providing the c…

Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 2: Open systems, Markovian dynamics and work extraction from non-rotating black holes
Antoine Rignon-Bret, Matthieu Vilatte
Black hole thermodynamics provides a unique setting in which general relativity, quantum field theory, and statistical mechanics converge. In semiclassical gravity, this interplay…

Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 1: Dual Generalized Second Law
Antoine Rignon-Bret, Matthieu Vilatte
The generalized second law (GSL) of black hole thermodynamics asserts the monotonic increase of the generalized entropy combining the black hole area and the entropy of quantum fie…
