The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black holes in Einstein's theory of gravity is equal to a quarter of the horizon area in units of Newton's constant. Wald has proposed that in general theories of gravity the entropy of stationary black holes with bifurcate Killing horizons is a Noether charge which is in general different from the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. We show that the Noether charge entropy is equal to a quarter of the horizon area in units of the effective gravitational coupling on the horizon defined by the coefficient of the kinetic term of specific graviton polarizations on the horizon. We present several explicit examples of static spherically symmetric black holes.

  1. Cosmological scalar perturbations in Horndeski-like gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a Horndeski-like scalar-tensor model with a chosen background solution, scalar stability and entropy-production bounds restrict the coupling gamma to be non-positive and constrain gamma*Lambda relative to alpha.
