Black hole entropy beyond the wald term in nonminimally coupled gravity: a covariant phase space decomposition

Abstract We study the entropy of static, spherically symmetric black holes in diffeomorphism-invariant theories with nonminimal matter–curvature couplings, using the covariant phase space formalism. For regular bifurcate Killing horizons, the Iyer–Wald construction gives the stan...
