High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-03-18 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We derive the effective equations of the membranes dual to black holes in a particular theory of higher derivative gravity namely Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity at sub-leading order in 1/D1/D upto linear order in the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) parameter β\beta. We find an expression for an entropy current which satisfies a local version of second law onshell in this regime. We also derive the membrane equations upto leading order in 1/D1/D but non-perturbatively in β\beta for EGB gravity. In this regime we write down an expression for a world-volume stress tensor of the membrane and also work out the effective membrane equation for stationary black holes.
