The entropy of Hawking radiation and the generalized second law [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2112.01931


We derive an approximate expression for the entropy of Hawking radiation filling a spherical box in stable thermodynamic equilibrium with the Schwarzschild black hole that produced the said radiation. The Bekenstein entropy bound is satisfied but the generalized second law might not be always guaranteed. We briefly discuss the possible origin of this unexpected result.
