Conjectural factorization-algebra enhancement of the first law of black-hole thermodynamics
Conjectural factorization-algebra enhancement of the first law of black-hole thermodynamics
Let be a spacetime, let be an asymptotically flat and stationary black-hole solution, and let be the differential graded Lie algebra representing its formal neighborhood. Let be the factorization algebra of classical observables associated to this BV classical field theory. For an asymptotically flat perturbation , black-hole first-law enhancement conjecture. The perturbation recovers a factorization-algebra enhancement of the first law of black-hole thermodynamics, with the left-hand side included from into and the right-hand side included from . This is proposed as a factorization-algebra formulation of the first law and as a step toward a mathematical treatment of black-hole entropy; the result remains to be proved.
