Horizon Thermodynamics in <i>D</i>-Dimensional <i>f</i>(<i>R</i>) Black Hole

Abstract

We consider whether the new horizon-first law works in higher-dimensional f(R) theory. We firstly obtain the general formulas to calculate the entropy and the energy of a general spherically-symmetric black hole in D-dimensional f(R) theory. For applications, we compute the entropies and the energies of some black hokes in some interesting higher-dimensional f(R) theories.
