Boundary conditions in first order gravity: Hamiltonian and Ensemble

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

In this work two different boundary conditions for first order gravity, corresponding to a null and a negative cosmological constant respectively, are studied. Both boundary conditions allows to obtain the standard black hole thermodynamics. Furthermore both boundary conditions define a canonical ensemble. Additionally the quasilocal energy definition is obtained for the null cosmological constant case.
