Extensivity, entropy current, area law and Unruh effect
read the original abstract
We present a general method to determine the entropy current of relativistic matter at local thermodynamic equilibrium in quantum statistical mechanics. Provided that the local equilibrium operator is bounded from below and its lowest lying eigenvector is non-degenerate, it is proved that, in general, the logarithm of the partition function is extensive, meaning that it can be expressed as the integral over a 3D space-like hypersurface of a vector current, and that an entropy current exists. We work out a specific calculation for a non-trivial case of global thermodynamic equilibrium, namely a system with constant comoving acceleration, whose limiting temperature is the Unruh temperature. We show that the integral of the entropy current in the right Rindler wedge is the entanglement entropy.

Thermodynamics of rotating fermions
A local pressure for rotating massless fermions is proposed that satisfies both the Euler relation and the thermodynamic differential relations, resolving a known spin-hydrodynamics tension.
