It is well known that in general theories of gravity with the diffeomorphism symmetry, the black hole entropy is a Noether charge. But what will happen if the symmetry is explicitly broken? By investigating the covariant first law of black hole mechanics with background fields, we show that the Noether entropy is still applicable due to the local nature of the black hole entropy. Moreover, motivated by the proposal that the cosmological constant behaves as a thermodynamic variable, we allow the non-dynamical background fields to be varied. To illustrate this general formalism, we study a generic static black brane in the massive gravity. Using the first law and the scaling argument, we obtain two Smarr formulas. We show that both of them can be retrieved without relying on the first law, hence providing a self-consistent check of the theory.

The first law of black hole mechanics has been the main motivation for investigating thermodynamic properties of black holes. The first version of this law was proved in cite{Bardeen:1973gs} by considering perturbations of an asymptotically flat, stationary black hole spacetime to other stationary black hole spacetimes. This result was then extended to fully general perturbations, first in the context of Einstein-Maxwell theory in cite{Sudarsky:1992ty},cite{Wald:1993ki}, and then in the context of a general diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity with an arbitrary number of matter fields in cite{Wald:1993nt},cite{Iyer:1994ys}. Here a review of these two generalizations of the first law is presented, with particular attention to outlining the necessary formalisms and calculations in an explicit and thorough way, understandable at a graduate level. The open problem of defining the entropy for a dynamical black hole that satisfies a form of the second law of black hole mechanics is briefly discussed.
We discuss the connection between different entropies introduced for black hole. It is demonstrated on the two-dimensional example that the (quantum) thermodynamical entropy of a hole coincides (including UV-finite terms) with its statistical-mechanical entropy calculated according to t Hooft and regularized by Pauli-Villars.
Using a graphical analysis, we show that for the horizon radius $r_hgtrsim 4.8sqrttheta$, the standard semiclassical Bekenstein-Hawking area law for noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole exactly holds for all orders of $theta$. We also give the corrections to the area law to get the exact nature of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy when $r_h<4.8sqrttheta$ till the extremal point $r_h=3.0sqrt{theta}$.
We consider the linear stability of $4$-dimensional hairy black holes with mixed boundary conditions in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. We focus on the mass of scalar fields around the maximally supersymmetric vacuum of the gauged $mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity in four dimensions, $m^{2}=-2l^{-2}$. It is shown that the Schr{o}dinger operator on the half-line, governing the $S^{2}$, $H^{2}$ or $mathbb{R}^{2}$ invariant mode around the hairy black hole, allows for non-trivial self-adjoint extensions and each of them correspons to a class of mixed boundary conditions in the gravitational theory. Discarding the self-adjoint extensions with a negative mode impose a restriction on these boundary conditions. The restriction is given in terms of an integral of the potential in the Schr{o}dinger operator resembling the estimate of Simon for Schr{o}dinger operators on the real line. In the context of AdS/CFT duality, our result has a natural interpretation in terms of the field theory dual effective potential.
In the large D limit, and under certain circumstances, it has recently been demonstrated that black hole dynamics in asymptotically flat spacetime reduces to the dynamics of a non gravitational membrane propagating in flat D dimensional spacetime. We demonstrate that this correspondence extends to all orders in a 1/D expansion and outline a systematic method for deriving the corrected membrane equation in a power series expansion in 1/D. As an illustration of our method we determine the first subleading corrections to the membrane equations of motion. A qualitatively new effect at this order is that the divergence of the membrane velocity is nonzero and proportional to the square of the shear tensor reminiscent of the entropy current of hydrodynamics. As a test, we use our modified membrane equations to compute the corrections to frequencies of light quasinormal modes about the Schwarzschild black hole and find a perfect match with earlier computations performed directly in the gravitational bulk.
