Abstract

Abstract We construct an entropy current and establish a local version of the classical second law of thermodynamics for dynamical black holes in Chern-Simons (CS) theories of gravity. We work in a chosen set of Gaussian null coordinates and assume the dynamics to be small perturbations around the Killing horizon. In explicit examples of both purely gravitational and mixed gauge gravity CS theories in (2 + 1) and (4 + 1)-dimensions, the entropy current is obtained by studying the off-shell structure of the equations of motion evaluated on the horizon. For the CS theory in (2 + 1) dimensions, we argue that the second law holds to quadratic order in perturbations by considering it as a low energy effective field theory with the leading piece given by Einstein gravity. In all such examples, we show that the construction of entropy current is invariant under the reparameterization of the null horizon coordinates. Finally, extending an existing formalism for diffeomorphism invariant theories, we construct an abstract proof for the linearised second law in arbitrary Chern-Simons theories in any given odd dimensions by studying the off-shell equations of motion. As a check of consistency, we verify that the outcome of this algorithmic proof matches precisely with the results obtained in explicit examples.
