Lanczos-Lovelock场方程的热力学结构

Thermodynamic structure of Lanczos-Lovelock field equations from near-horizon symmetries

Dawood Kothawala, T. Padmanabhan

摘要:

众所周知,对于一大类具有视界的时空,视界附近的爱因斯坦方程可以写成热力学恒等式。我们还知道,爱因斯坦张量在接近静态和静止视界时都具有高度对称的形式。我们表明,对于一般的静态时空,这种高度对称形式的爱因斯坦张量导致相当自然和一般的解释近视界场方程作为一个热力学身份。我们进一步将这一结果推广到Lanczos-Lovelock引力中的一般静态时空,并表明近视界场方程再次代表了所有这些模型中的热力学恒等式。这些结果证实了这样一个猜想,即引力的热力学观点远远超出了爱因斯坦的理论。

英文摘要:

It is well known that, for a wide class of spacetimes with horizons, Einstein equations near the horizon can be written as a thermodynamic identity. It is also known that the Einstein tensor acquires a highly symmetric form near static, as well as stationary, horizons. We show that, for generic static spacetimes, this highly symmetric form of the Einstein tensor leads quite naturally and generically to the interpretation of the near-horizon field equations as a thermodynamic identity. We further extend this result to generic static spacetimes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity, and show that the near-horizon field equations again represent a thermodynamic identity in all these models. These results confirm the conjecture that this thermodynamic perspective of gravity extends far beyond Einstein's theory.
