The generalized second law is proven for rapidly-evolving semiclassical Rindler horizons at each instant of time, for arbitrary interacting quantum fields minimally coupled to general relativity. The proof requires the background spacetime to have boost and null translation symmetry. Possible extensions to more general horizons and matter-gravity couplings are discussed.

  1. The Making of von Neumann Algebras from Bulk Focusing

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A boundary region's infinite-N operator algebra is a von Neumann algebra exactly when its generalized causal wedge closes on the same region; null geodesic focusing is the bulk mechanism.

    Null-infinity black hole thermodynamics is recast as Markovian open-system thermodynamics, with chemical-potential terms identified as extractable work and used to formulate generalized grand-potential laws for Schwar...

  3. Entropy Variations and Light Ray Operators from Replica Defects

    hep-th 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Replica analysis shows QNEC saturation in interacting CFTs with twist gap because only the stress-tensor defect operator produces the contact term in the n to 1 limit.

  4. Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 1: Dual Generalized Second Law

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    At future null infinity, the generalized second law for a Schwarzschild black hole becomes the monotonic decrease of a free energy, or grand potential, constructed from the Bondi mass and angular-mode chemical potentials.
