Black Hole Entropy in the presence of Chern-Simons Terms

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

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.
