A bstract We construct an entropy current and establish a local version of the classical
second law of thermodynamics for dynamical black holes in Chern-Simons (CS) theories of …

We study the first law for non-stationary perturbations of a stationary black hole whose event
horizon is a Killing horizon, that relates the first-order change in the mass and angular …

There has been recent progress in extending the zeroth and second laws of black hole
mechanics to gravitational effective field theories (EFTs). We generalize these results to a …

Expanding the work of arXiv: 1504.08040, we show that black holes obey a second law for
linear perturbations to bifurcate Killing horizons, in any covariant higher curvature gravity …

A bstract Working within the approximation of small amplitude expansion, recently an
entropy current has been constructed on the horizons of dynamical black hole solution in …

Although the Wald entropy is commonly suitable for the first law of black hole
thermodynamics, whether it satisfies the second law has not been examined sufficiently. For …

The zeroth law of black hole mechanics asserts that the stationary black hole has a constant
surface gravity on the event horizon. This study investigates the zeroth law within the …

We prove the generalized second law (GSL) for higher curvature gravity theories when the
matter sector is non-minimally coupled. The validity of our proof is in the regime of linearized …

In [arXiv: 2105.06455, arXiv: 2206.04538], the authors have been able to argue for an ultra-
local version of the second law of black hole mechanics, for arbitrary diffeomorphism …

We prove the classical version of the covariant entropy bound (also known as the Bousso
bound) in arbitrary diffeomorphism invariant gravitational theories. We focus on theories for …
