Bekenstein's generalized second law of thermodynamics: The role of the hoop conjecture

Bekenstein's generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics asserts that the sum of black-hole entropy, SBH=Ac3/4ħG (here A is the black-hole surface area), and the ordinary entropy of matter and radiation fields in the black-hole exterior region never decreases. We here re-analyze an intriguin...
