Conserved Charges in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theory

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-12-03 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Using Noether's identities, we define a superpotential with respect to a background for the Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. As an example, we show that its associated conserved charge yields the mass-energy of a D-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black hole in an anti-de Sitter spacetime.
