Horizon entropy and higher curvature equations of state

  • 1. Center for Fundamental Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-4111 (United States)

Description

The Clausius relation between entropy change and heat flux has previously been used to derive Einstein's field equations as an equation of state. We examine here whether a similar derivation can be given for extensions beyond Einstein gravity to include higher derivative and higher curvature terms.
