Ten Proofs of the Generalized Second Law
Ten attempts to prove the Generalized Second Law of Thermodyanmics (GSL) are described and critiqued. Each proof provides valuable insights which should be useful for constructing future, more complete proofs. Rather than merely summarizing previous research, this review offers new perspectives, and strategies for overcoming limitations of the existing proofs. A long introductory section addres...

We study the conditions of validity of the generalized second law in phantom dominated era. PACS: 98.80.-k, 98.80.Jk
متن کاملGhost condensate and generalized second law
Dubovsky and Sibiryakov recently proposed a scenario in which particles of different species propagate with different speeds due to their direct couplings to ghost condensate. It was argued that this extended version of ghost condensate allows a gedanken experiment leading to violation of the generalized second law. However, in the original ghost condensate scenario, difference in propagation s...
متن کاملThe Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Cosmology
A classical and quantum mechanical generalized second law of thermodynamics in cosmology implies constraints on the effective equation of state of the universe in the form of energy conditions, obeyed by many known cosmological solutions, and is compatible with entropy bounds which forbid certain cosmological singularities. In string cosmology the second law provides new information about the e...
متن کاملComment on entropy bounds and the generalized second law
In a gedanken experiment in which a box initially containing energy E and entropy S is lowered toward a black hole and then dropped in, it was shown by Unruh and Wald that the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics holds, without the need to assume any bounds on S other than the bound that arises from the fact that entropy at a given energy and volume is bounded by that of unconstr...
