Hamilton-Jacobi Counterterms for Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

The on-shell gravitational action and the boundary stress tensor are essential ingredients in the study of black hole thermodynamics. We employ the Hamilton-Jacobi method to calculate the boundary counterterms necessary to remove the divergences and allow the study of the thermodynamics of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes.
