The extended black hole thermodynamics in which the cosmological constant plays the role of pressure significantly enriches the phase structure of the theory. In order to understand the extended black hole thermodynamics more precisely, we let the value of the cosmological constant vary dynamically via tunneling from one vacuum to another in a black hole induced vacuum decay. In this process, entropy of the matter/energy released by a black hole is crucial to validate the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, without taking this bulk entropy into account, entropy associated with the black hole and cosmological horizons may not always increase. Since the bulk entropy is not represented by the black hole and the cosmological horizons, this result calls for a more careful interpretation of the holographic principle in which environmental effects are taken into account.

  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.
