Varying Newton constant, entropy and the black hole evaporation law
Abstract
In Einstein equations we represent the energy-momentum tensor as the one ( ) of a fluid plus the cosmological term. We consider time-dependent Newton ``constant" , the cosmological term and non-conserved . The Bianchi identity imposes a relation between the energy-momentum (non)conservation and the variation of and . The covariant divergence can be related to the first law of thermodynamics. For compact systems of mass from the Bianchi identity we obtain a power-law relation with depending on pressure or entropy. We discuss radiation and a mass loss described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. In this formula we insert an expression for the black hole area and its temperature . The Bianchi identity together with a formula for temperature and entropy determines the index in the relation between the Newton constant and the mass . If the entropy is defined by the equation then (the same as for zero pressure). If the formula of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy holds true for time-dependent then . We discuss consequences for the evaporation law of some modified expressions for the entropy appearing in effective models of gravity resulting from an interaction with matter fields. In particular, leads to a constant evaporation temperature whereas to a decreasing temperature and luminosity.
