Entropy of black holes in topologically massive gravity
Abstract
We study the issue of black hole entropy in the topologically massive gravity. Assuming that the presence of gravitational Chern-Simons term with the coupling does modify the horizon radius , we propose as the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. This entropy of CS-BTZ black hole satisfies the first-law of thermodynamics and the area-law but it is slightly different from the shifted-entropy based on the BTZ black hole with outer and inner horizon . In the case of , represents the entropy of non-rotating BTZ black hole with the Chern-Simons term (NBTZ-CS), while reduces to the entropy of NBTZ black hole. It shows that may be a candidate for the entropy of the CS-BTZ black hole.
