9 Generalized zeroth law of mechanics [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata 2002] Black hole spacetimes with helical Killing vector field k α On each component H i of the event horizon, the expansion and shear of the generators vanish Generalized rigidity theorem: H = i H i is a Killing horizon Constant horizon surface gravity κ 2 i = 1 2 ( α k β β k α ) Hi The binary black hole system is in a state of corotation
10 Generalized first law of mechanics [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata 2002] Spacetimes with black holes + perfect fluid matter sources One-parameter family of solutions {g αβ (λ), u α (λ), ρ(λ), s(λ)} Globally defined Killing field k α conseved Noether charge Q δq = i κ i 8π δa [ i + h δ(dmb ) + T δ(ds) + v α δ(dc α ) ] Σ
11 Issue of asymptotic flatness [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata 2002] Binaries on circular orbits have a helical Killing symmetry k α Helically symmetric spacetimes are not asymptotically flat [Gibbons & Stewart 1983, Detweiler 1989, Klein 2004] Asymptotic flatness can be recovered if radiation can be turned off : Conformal Flatness Condition Post-Newtonian approximation For asymptotically flat spacetimes: k α t α + Ω φ α and δq = δm ADM Ω δj
12 Application to black hole binaries [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata 2002] Rigidity theorem black holes are in a state of corotation Conformal flatness condition asymptotic flatness recovered preferred normalization of κ i [Le Tiec & Grandclément 2017] For binary black holes the generalized first law reduces to δm ADM = Ω δj+ i κ i 8π δa i A 1 Ω κ 2 r + M ADM,J

16 Corotating point particles [Blanchet, Buonanno & Le Tiec 2013] A point particle with rest mass m i and spin S i is given an irreducible mass µ i and a proper rotation frequency ω i via δm i = ω i δs i + c i δµ i and m 2 i = µ 2 i + S 2 i /(4µ 2 i ) The first law of binary point-particle mechanics becomes δm = Ω δj + i [z i c i δµ i + (z i ω i + Ω i Ω) δs i ] Comparing with the first law for corotating black holes, δm = Ω δj + i (4µ iκ i ) δµ i, the corotation condition is z i ω i = Ω Ω i ω i (Ω) S i (Ω)

67 Why does BHPT perform so well? In perturbation theory, one traditionally expands as k max f (Ω; m i ) = a k (m 2 Ω) q k where q m 1 /m 2 [0, 1] k=0 However, most physically interesting relationships f (Ω; m i ) are symmetric under exchange m 1 m 2 Hence, a better-motivated expansion is k max f (Ω; m i ) = b k (mω) ν k where ν m 1 m 2 /m 2 [0, 1/4] k=0 In a PN expansion, we have b n = O ( 1/c 2n) = npn +
68 Why does BHPT perform so well? In perturbation theory, each surface gravity is expanded as 4µ 1 κ 1 = a(µ 2 Ω) + q b(µ 2 Ω) + O(q 2 ) 4µ 2 κ 2 = c(µ 2 Ω) + q d(µ 2 Ω) + O(q 2 ) From the first law we know that the general form is 4µ i κ i = ν k f k (µω) ± 1 4ν ν k g k (µω) k 0 k 0 Each surface gravity can thus be rewritten as 4µ i κ i = A(µΩ) ± B(µΩ) 1 4ν + C(µΩ) ν ± D(µΩ) ν 1 4ν + O(ν 2 ) Expand to linear order in q and match A, B, C, D

71 Zeroth law for a black hole with moon [Gralla & Le Tiec 2013] Because of helical symmetry and corotation, the expansion and shear of the perturbed future event horizon H vanish Rigidity theorems then imply that H is a Killing horizon [Hawking 1972, Chruściel 1997, Friedrich et al. 1999, etc] The horizon-generating Killing field must be of the form k a (ε) = t a + ( ω ) H + ε Dω }{{ H φ } a + O(ε 2 ) circular orbit frequency Ω The surface gravity κ is defined in the usual manner as κ 2 = 1 2 ( a k b a k b ) H Since κ = const. over any Killing horizon [Bardeen et al. 1973], we have proven a zeroth law for the perturbed event horizon
