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.
After considering the quantum corrections of Einstein-Maxwell theory, the effective theory will contain some higher-curvature terms and nonminimally coupled electromagnetic fields. In this paper, we study the first law of black holes in the gravitati
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 mecha
The spacetime in the interior of a black hole can be described by an homogeneous line element, for which the Einstein--Hilbert action reduces to a one-dimensional mechanical model. We have shown in [SciPost Phys. 10, 022 (2021), [2010.07059]] that th
The black hole area theorem implies that when two black holes merge, the area of the final black hole should be greater than the sum of the areas of the two original black holes. We examine how this prediction can be tested with gravitational-wave ob
We present observational confirmation of Hawkings black-hole area theorem based on data from GW150914, finding agreement with the prediction with 97% (95%) probability when we model the ringdown including (excluding) overtones of the quadrupolar mode
