The zeroth law of black hole thermodynamics in arbitrary higher derivative theories of gravity

Abstract We consider diffeomorphism invariant theories of gravity with arbitrary higher derivative terms in the Lagrangian as corrections to the leading two derivative theory of Einstein’s general relativity. We construct a proof of the zeroth law of black hole thermo-dynamics in such theories. We a...
