Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of spacetime: The Einstein equation of state.
TL;DR: The Einstein equation is derived from the form of black hole entropy together with the fundamental relation $\delta Q=TdS$ connecting heat, entropy, and temperature, and its validity is seen to depend on the existence of local equilibrium conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity with a dynamical preferred frame
Ted Jacobson,David Mattingly +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general covariant model of the aether was studied, in which local Lorentz invariance is broken by a dynamical unit timelike vector field.
Journal ArticleDOI
On black hole entropy
TL;DR: Wald's results are extended by establishing that his local geometric expression for the black hole entropy gives the same result when evaluated on an arbitrary cross section of a Killing horizon (rather than just the bifurcation surface).
Journal ArticleDOI
Black hole entropy and higher curvature interactions.
TL;DR: A general formula for the entropy of stationary black holes in Lovelock higher-curvature gravity theories is obtained by integrating the first law of black hole mechanics, which is derived by Hamiltonian methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Spacetime
TL;DR: It is shown that a curvature correction to the entropy that is polynomial in the Ricci scalar requires a nonequilibrium treatment.
