The Physical-process first law for a rotating black hole states that a small flux of matter through an initially and finally stationary horizon obeysin units . Let be an affinely parametrized horizon tangent with affine parameter on a bifurcation surface. Constancy of the surface gravity from the Zeroth law of black-hole mechanics and Gaussian null coordinates give the horizon generatorTo first order about a stationary horizon, the squared expansion and shear in the Null Raychaudhuri equation are second order. The Einstein field equations reduce it toThe final stationary condition givesSince , reversing the order of integration yieldsThe stress-energy current from a Killing vector gives the horizon Killing-energy fluxwhich proves the stated law.
