The Hamiltonian approach to black hole entropy, recently proposed in the framework of Poincar\'e gauge theory, is extended by including the scalar matter. The improved approach is used to analyse asymptotic charges and entropy of a typical…
In Poincar\'e gauge theory, black hole entropy is defined canonically by the variation of a boundary term $\Gamma_H$, located at horizon. For a class of static and spherically symmetric black holes in vacuum, the explicit formula reads…
Many inequivalent approaches to study black holes yield identical results. Any meaningful theory of gravity should explain the origin of this property. Here we show that the basic holomorphic modes characterising the underlying two…

The BTZ stationary black hole solution is considered and its mass and angular momentum are calculated by means of Noether theorem. In particular, relative conserved quantities with respect to a suitably fixed background are discussed.…
The Second Law of black hole thermodynamics is shown to hold for arbitrarily complicated theories of higher curvature gravity, so long as we allow only linearized perturbations to stationary black holes. Some ambiguities in Wald's Noether…
In the first order formalism of gravity theories, there are some theories which are not Lorentz-diffeomorphism covariant. In the framework of such theories we cannot apply the method of conserved charge calculation used in…
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black holes in Einstein's theory of gravity is equal to a quarter of the horizon area in units of Newton's constant. Wald has proposed that in general theories of gravity the entropy of stationary black…
Shape dynamics is classical theory of gravity which agrees with general relativity in many important cases, but possesses different gauge symmetries and constraints. Rather than spacetime diffeomorphism invariance, shape dynamics takes…
Weyl transverse gravity is a gravitational theory that is invariant under transverse diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. It is characterised by having the same classical solutions as general relativity while solving some of its issues…
In this note, we extend the string theoretic calculation of the black hole entropy, first performed by Susskind and Uglum, away from the infinite mass limit. It is shown that the result agrees with that obtained from the classical action of…
Partly motivated by the arrow of time problem in cosmology and the Weyl curvature hypothesis formulated by Roger Penrose, previous works in the literature have proposed - among other possibilities - the square of the Weyl curvature, as…
Restricted to a black hole horizon, the ``gauge'' algebra of surface deformations in general relativity contains a Virasoro subalgebra with a calculable central charge. The fields in any quantum theory of gravity must transform accordingly,…
Motivated by the known mathematical and physical problems arising from the current mathematical formalization of the physical spatio-temporal continuum, as a substantial technical clarification of our earlier attempt, the aim in this paper…
The mechanism of generation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S^{BH}$ of a black hole in the Sakharov's induced gravity is proposed. It is suggested that the "physical" degrees of freedom, which explain the entropy $S^{BH}$, form only a…
It has recently been shown that, in the vicinity of their event horizons, black holes exhibit an infinite-dimensional symmetry. This symmetry captures relevant physical information about the black hole, and in particular about its…
Quantum effects due to conformal matter in a black hole background result in universal logarithmic corrections to black-hole entropy. The universality resides in the connection of the log term coefficient with those of type-A and type-B…
In recent work, Hollands, Kov\'acs and Reall have built on previous work of Wall to provide a definition of dynamical black hole entropy for gravitational effective field theories (EFTs). This entropy satisfies a second law of black hole…
We consider the static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in bigravity theory for minimal model with a condition $f_{\mu \nu} = C^{2} g_{\mu \nu}$ and evaluate the entropy for black holes. In this condition, we show that there…
Although the entropy of black holes in any diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity can be expressed as the Wald entropy, the issue of whether the entropy always obeys the second law of black hole thermodynamics remains open. Since the…
