Quasi-local first law of black-hole dynamics

Abstract

A property well known as the first law of black hole is a relation among infinitesimal variations of parameters of stationary black holes. We consider a dynamical version of the first law, which may be called the first law of black hole dynamics. The first law of black hole dynamics is derived without assuming any symmetry or any asymptotic conditions. In the derivation, a definition of dynamical surface gravity is proposed. In spherical symmetry it reduces to that defined recently by one of the authors (SAH).
