Abstract

In this paper we generalize the off-shell Abbott-Deser-Tekin (ADT) conserved charge formalism to Palatini theory of gravity with torsion and non-metricity. Our construction is based on the coordinate formalism and the independent dynamic fields are the metric and the affine connection. For a general Palatini theory of gravity, which is diffeomorphism invariant up to a boundary term, we obtain the most general expression for off-shell ADT potential. As explicit examples, we derive the off-shell ADT potentials for Einstein-Hilbert action, the most general L(gμν,Rλναμ,Tλαβ,Qαμν)L(g_{\mu\nu}, R^{\lambda}{}_{\nu\alpha\mu}, T^{\lambda}{}_{\alpha\beta}, Q_{\alpha\mu\nu}) theories and the teleparallel Palatini gravity.
