Topological Black Holes in Weyl Conformal Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a class of exact solutions of Weyl conformal gravity, which have an interpretation as topological black holes. Solutions with negative, zero or positive scalar curvature at infinity are found, the former generalizing the wellknown topological black holes in anti-de Sitter gravity. The rather delicate question of thermodynamic properties of such objects in Weyl conformal gravity is discussed; suggesting that the thermodynamics of the found solutions should be treated within the framework of gravity as an induced phenomenon, in the spirit of Sakharov’s work. 04.20.-q, 04.20.Gz, 04.70.Bw Typeset using REVTEX ∗email: [email protected]

Conformal Equivalence of 2d Dilaton Gravity Models
We investigate the behavior of generic, matter-coupled, 2D dilaton gravity theories under dilaton-dependent Weyl rescalings of the metric. We show that physical observables associated with 2D black holes, such as the mass, the temperature and the flux of Hawking radiation are invariant under the action of both Weyl transformations and dilaton reparametrizations. The field theoretical and geomet...
متن کاملOn the Near-Horizon Canonical Quantum Microstates from AdS2/CFT1 and Conformal Weyl Gravity
We compute the full asymptotic symmetry group of black holes belonging to the same equivalence class of solutions within the conformal Weyl gravity formalism. We do this within an AdS2/CFT1 correspondence and by performing a Robinson–Wilczek two-dimensional reduction, thus enabling the construction of effective quantum theory of the remaining field content. The resulting energy momentum tensors...
متن کامل2 The Weyl - invariant effective action and the Vira - soro anomaly
We consider the semiclassical dynamics of CGHS black holes with a Weyl-invariant effective action for conformal matter. The trace anomaly of Polyakov effective action is converted into the Virasoro anomaly thus leading to the same flux of Hawking radiation. The covariance of semiclassical equations can be restored through a non-local redefinition of the metric-dilaton fields. The resulting theo...
متن کاملTopological black holes in the dimensionally continued gravity
We investigate the topological black holes in a special class of Lovelock gravity. In the odd dimensions, the action is the Chern-Simons form for the anti-de Sitter group. In the even dimensions, it is the Euler density constructed with the Lorentz part of the anti-de Sitter curvature tensor. The Lovelock coefficients are reduced to two independent parameters: cosmological constant and gravitat...
متن کاملWeyl Invariance and Spurious Black Hole in Two-dimensional Dilaton Gravity
In two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories, there may exist a global Weyl invariance which makes black hole spurious. If the global invariance and the local Weyl invariance of the matter coupling are intact at the quantum level, there is no Hawking radiation. We explicitly verify the absence of anomalies in these symmetries for the model proposed by Callan, Giddings, Harvey and Strominger. The...
