Reversible and Irreversible Spacetime Thermodynamics for General Brans-Dicke Theories
Goffredo Chirco, Christopher Eling, Stefano Liberati
We derive the equations of motion for Palatini F(R) gravity by applying an entropy balance law T dS= δQ+δN to the local Rindler wedge that can be constructed at each point of space…
Gedanken experiments on nearly extremal black holes and the Third Law
Goffredo Chirco, Stefano Liberati, Thomas P. Sotiriou
A gedanken experiment in which a black hole is pushed to spin at its maximal rate by tossing into it a test body is considered. After demonstrating that this is kinematically possi…
The universal viscosity to entropy density ratio from entanglement
Goffredo Chirco, Christopher Eling, Stefano Liberati
We present evidence that the universal Kovtun-Son-Starinets shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of 1/4πcan be associated with a Rindler causal horizon in flat spacetime. Since…
