Boundary Terms and Noether Current of Spherical Black Holes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider two proposals for defining black hole entropy in spherical symmetry, where the horizon is defined locally as a trapping horizon. The first case, boundary terms in a dual-null form of the reduced action in two dimensions, gives a result that is proportional to the area. The second case, Wald’s Noether current method, is generalized to dynamic black holes, giving an entropy that is just the area of the trapping horizon. These results are compared with a generalized first law of thermodynamics. email: [email protected] email: [email protected]

Dynamic black-hole entropy
We consider two non-statistical definitions of entropy for dynamic (non-stationary) black holes in spherical symmetry. The first is analogous to the original Clausius definition of thermodynamic entropy: there is a first law containing an energy-supply term which equals surface gravity times a total differential. The second is Wald’s Noether-charge method, adapted to dynamic black holes by usin...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy in the presence of Chern-Simons Terms
We derive a formula for the black hole entropy in theories with gravitational Chern-Simons terms, by generalizing Wald’s argument which uses the Noether charge. It correctly reproduces the entropy of three-dimensional black holes in the presence of Chern-Simons term, which was previously obtained via indirect methods.
متن کاملBlack Hole Mass Formula Is a Vanishing Noether Charge
The Noether current and its variation relation with respect to diffeomorphism invariance of gravitational theories have been derived from the horizontal variation and vertical-horizontal bi-variation of the Lagrangian, respectively. For Einstein’s GR in the stationary, axisymmetric black holes, the mass formula in vacuum can be derived from this Noether current although it definitely vanishes. ...
متن کاملModifications of the area law and N=2 supersymmetric black holes
Modifications of the area law are crucial in order to find agreement with microscopic entropy calculations based on string theory, when including contributions that are subleading for large charges. The deviations of the area law are in accord with Wald’s proposal for the entropy based on a Noether charge. We discuss this for the case of fourdimensional N = 2 supersymmetric black holes. It is a...
متن کاملMass, Angular Momentum and Thermodynamics in Four-Dimensional Kerr-AdS Black Holes
In this paper, the connection between the Lorentz-covariant counterterms that regularize the four-dimensional AdS gravity action and topological invariants is explored. It is shown that demanding the spacetime to have a negative constant curvature in the asymptotic region permits the explicit construction of such series of boundary terms. The orthonormal frame is adapted to appropriately descri...
