Abstract

We calculate the effective Komar conserved quantities for the N+1N+1 dimensional charged Myers-Perry spacetime. At the event horizon we derive a new identity Kχμ=2STK_{\chi^{\mu}}=2ST where the left hand side is the Komar conserved quantity corresponding to the null Killing vector χμ\chi^{\mu} while in the right hand side S, TS,~T are the black hole entropy and Hawking temperature. From this identity we also derive the generalized Smarr formula connecting the macroscopic parameters M, J, QM,~J,~Q of the black hole with its surface gravity and horizon area. The consistency of this new formula is established by an independent algebraic approach.
