Black Hole Thermodynamics: General Relativity and Beyond

Understand

Black holes have often provided profound insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of space-time.

• The study of the mathematical properties of black objects is a major research theme of contemporary theoretical physics.
• This review presents a comprehensive survey of the various versions of the first law and second law of black hole mechanics in general relativity and beyond.
• The emphasis is to understand how these laws can constrain the physics beyond general relativity.
