Energy definition for quadratic curvature gravities

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2012-12-04 v1

Abstract

A conserved current for generic quadratic curvature gravitational models is defined, and it is shown that, at the linearized level, it corresponds to the Deser-Tekin charges. An explicit expression for the charge for new massive gravity in three dimensions is given. Some implications of the linearized equations are discussed.
