We establish that boundary degrees of freedom associated with a generic co-dimension one null surface in D dimensional pure Einstein gravity naturally admit a thermodynamical description. The null surface thermodynamics which we expect to universally hold is a result of the diffeomorphism invariance of the theory and do not rely on other special features of the null surface. Using standard surface charge analysis and covariant phase space method, we formulate laws of null surface thermodynamics…

Dynamical properties of a generic null surface are known to have a thermodynamic interpretation. Such an interpretation is completely based on an analogy between the usual law of thermodynamics and

The null surfaces of a spacetime act as oneway membranes and can block information for a corresponding family of observers (timelike curves). Since lack of information can be related to entropy, this

The Einstein equation is derived from the form of black hole entropy together with the fundamental relation $\delta Q=TdS$ connecting heat, entropy, and temperature, and its validity is seen to depend on the existence of local equilibrium conditions.
