Query: Constraining black-hole horizon effects by LIGO-Virgo detections of
  inspiralling binary black holes   General relativity predicts mass and spin growth of an inspiralling black
hole due to an energy-momentum flux flowing through the black-hole horizon. The
leading-order terms of this horizon flux introduce 2.5 and 3.5 post-Newtonian
corrections to inspiral motions of binary black holes. The corrections may be
measurable by gravitational waves detectors. Since the proper improvements to
general relativity is still a mystery, it is possible that the true modified
gravity theory introduces negligible direct corrections to the geodesics of
test masses, while near horizon corrections are observable. We introduce a
parameterization to describe arbitrary mass and spin growth of inspiralling
black holes. Comparing signals of gravitational waves and a waveform model with
parameterized horizon flux corrections, deviations from general relativity can
be constrained. We simulate a set of gravitational waves signals following an
astrophysical distribution with horizon flux modifications. Then, we perform a
Bayesian analysis to obtain the expected constraints from the simulated
response of the Advanced LIGO-Virgo detector network to the simulated signals.
We show that the constraint can be improved by stacking multiple detections.
The constraints of modified horizon flux can be used to test a specific class
of modified gravity theories which predict dominant corrections near black-hole
horizons over other types of corrections to general relativity. To support
Hawking's area theorem at 90\% confidence level, over 10000 LIGO-Virgo
detections are required. Within the lifetime of LIGO and Einstein Telescope, a
future ground-based gravitational wave detector, near horizon corrections of
modified gravity theories are potentially detectable if one of the modified
gravity theory is true and the theory predicts a strong correction.
