| contents | In this paper, we show a local generalized second law (the generalized entropy is nondecreasing) in crossed product constructions for maximally extended static and Kerr black holes using modular theory. The new ingredient is the use of results from a recent paper discussing the entropy of the algebra of operators in subregions of arbitrary spacetimes. These results rely on an assumption which we show is true in our setting. However, we do assume as in that paper, that the gravitational constraints are implemented on each partial Cauchy slice. We employ a slight generalization of the construction, by including an observer degree of freedom even for wedge shaped regions with an asymptotic boundary. In the last part of the paper, we look at modular Hamiltonians of deformed half-spaces in a class of static spacetimes, including the Schwarzschild spacetime. These are computed using path integrals, and we primarily compute them to investigate whether these non-local modular Hamiltonians can be made local by subtracting off pieces from the algebra and its commutant, as has been surmised in the literature. Along the way, the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) also follows in this class of spacetimes. |
