Black-Hole (Equilibrium) Thermodynamics  

In General > s.a. laws of black-hole thermodynamics; black-hole entropy and radiation; 2D gravity; horizons [including local temperature].
* Idea: The laws of black-hole mechanics have a thermodynamical interpretation if we identify the entropy as S ~ A/4 and the temperature

TH = \(\hbar\)κ/2πck ,       (= \(\hbar c^3/8\pi GMk\) for a Schwarzschild black hole, or (d−3)\(\hbar\)c/4πkrS in d dimensions) ,

where κ is the classically calculated surface gravity of the black hole; TH is negligible for M ~ MSun.
* Development: Black-hole thermodynamics started as a formal analogy between the laws of black-hole dynamics and those of thermodynamics; 1973, Real black-hole thermodynamics initially seemed like a crazy idea, because classically S = ∞ and T = 0, until Hawking discovered the concept of black-hole radiation.
* Equilibrium: Only non-rotating, neutral black holes can be in (unstable) equilibrium with thermal radiation; > s.a. perturbations [stability].
