A note on the Deser-Tekin charges
Abstract
Perturbed equations for an arbitrary metric theory of gravity in dimensions are constructed in the vacuum of this theory. The nonlinear part together with matter fields are a source for the linear part and are treated as a total energy-momentum tensor. A generalized family of conserved currents expressed through divergences of anti-symmetrical tensor densities (superpotentials) linear in perturbations is constructed. The new family generalizes the Deser and Tekin currents and superpotentials in quadratic curvature gravity theories generating Killing charges in dS and AdS vacua. As an example, the mass of the -dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in an effective AdS spacetime (a solution in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory) is examined.
