It is proposed by Cvetic et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 (2011) 121301] that the
product of all horizon areas for general rotating multi-change black holes has
universal expressions independent of the mass. When we consider the product of
all horizon entropies, however, the mass will be present in some cases, while
another new universal property [JHEP 1401 (2014) 031] is preserved, which is
more general and says that the sum of all horizon entropies depends only on the
coupling constants of the theory and the topology of the black hole. The
property has been studied in limited dimensions and the generalization in
arbitrary dimensions is not straight-forward. In this Letter, we prove a useful
formula, which makes it possible to investigate this conjectured universality
in arbitrary dimensions for the maximally symmetric black holes in general
Lovelock gravity and f(R) gravity. We also propose an approach to compute the
entropy sum of general Kerr-(anti-)de-Sitter black holes in arbitrary
dimensions. In all these cases, we prove that the entropy sum only depends on
the coupling constants and the topology of the black hole.Comment: 16 pages,no figures;v2: 17 pages, references added, minor
