Abstract

We consider the relative entropy between the vacuum state and a coherent state in linearized quantum gravity around a stationary black hole spacetime. Combining recent results by Casini et al. and Longo with the Raychaudhuri equation, the following result is obtained: Let A\frak A be the algebra of observables assoiciated with a region that is the causal future of some compact set in the interior of the spacetime. Let SS be the relative entropy with respect to this algebra, AA the area of the horizon cross section defined by the region, computed to second order in the gravitational perturbation. If the region is time-translated by the Killing parameter tt, then ddt(S+A/4)=2πF\frac{d}{d t}(S+A/4)= 2\pi F, with FF the flux of the gravitational/matter radiation (integrated squared news tensor) emitted towards the future of the region.
