Thermodynamics of cosmological horizons in f (t) gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the thermodynamics of the apparent horizon in f(T) gravity with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium descriptions, and show that the second law of thermodynamics can be satisfied for the universe with the same temperature outside and inside the visible horizon.

Generalized Vaidya spacetime in Lovelock gravity and thermodynamics on the apparent horizon

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized Vaidya solution in a generic Lovelock gravity was proposed, which generalizes the simple case in Gauss-Bonnet gravity reported recently by some authors.

Particle Creation by Black Holes

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that quantum mechanical effects cause black holes to create and emit particles as if they were hot bodies with temperature, which leads to a slow decrease in the mass of the black hole and to its eventual disappearance.

Black holes and entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of black-hole entropy was introduced as a measure of information about a black hole interior which is inaccessible to an exterior observer, and it was shown that the entropy is equal to the ratio of the black hole area to the square of the Planck length times a dimensionless constant of order unity.

Cosmological Event Horizons, Thermodynamics, and Particle Creation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the relationship between event horizons and thermodynamics can be extended to cosmological models with a repulsive cosmology constant, and that the spacetime metric itself appears to be observer-dependent.
