Rényi law constraints on Gauß–Bonnet black hole merger
Abstract
Abstract In this article, we explore the Rényi law constraints on black hole merger in Gauß–Bonnet (GB) gravity. Specifically, we consider the case of static solutions in five-dimensional (5D) Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime and study the constraints on merger of two equal mass black holes. We calculate the general Rényi entropy expression and utilize it to study the bounds on the final black hole mass post-merger. We study its variation with the Rényi parameter. We also compare the results with those for black holes in General Relativity (GR). We find that the GB term has a significant impact on the bounds for black hole merger. The bounds for GB gravity become weaker for the zeroth order Rényi entropy and stronger for higher order Rényi entropies in comparison to GR.
