Landauer entropy of spacetime

Based on Landauer’s principle, we provide a geometrical definition for the entropy of a given static, spherically symmetric spacetime. Considering a congruence of geodesics across a surface, one defines the entropy of a congruence as the surface integral of the entropy of the constituent geodesics. Under certain mild assumptions, we establish a second law for the entropy function thus defined (Landauer entropy), and relate it to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
