It is shown that energy, entropy and the first law of the Martinez-Troncoso black hole with electric charge and scalar hair (2006) can be consistently described in a general Hamiltonian approach to black hole thermodynamics.
The Hamiltonian approach to black hole entropy, recently proposed in the framework of Poincaré gauge theory, is extended by including the scalar matter. The improved approach is used to analyse asymptotic charges and entropy of a typical black hole with scalar hair in two complementary dynamical settings, in GR and in the teleparallel gravity. In both cases, the results confirm the validity of the first law.
We analyze the near horizon symmetry of the extremal Kerr black hole within the framework of Poincaré gauge theory (PG) for two important limiting cases: Riemannian and teleparallel solution. We show that the algebra of canonical generators is realized by Virasoro algebra, with central charge which depends on the black hole horizon radius . The conformal entropy of the black hole is obtained via Cardy formula.
The canonical approach to black hole entropy in Poincaré gauge theory without matter is extended to include Maxwell field as a matter source. The new formalism is used to calculate asymptotic charges and entropy of Kerr--Newmann--AdS black holes with torsion. The result implies that the first law, with a nontrivial contribution of the Maxwell field, takes the same form as in general relativity.
We analyze the motion of test particles in the spacetime of the plane-fronted (pp) waves with torsion in four-dimensions. We conclude that there is a velocity memory effect in the direction of advanced time and along radial direction, while we have rotation of particles in angular direction. The velocity memory effect in the aforementioned directions is severely affected by the value of the tordion mass and probably it is not observable. A very interesting, probably observable effect, stems from the rotation, which is insensitive to the tordion mass.
In Poincaré gauge theory, black hole entropy is defined canonically by the variation of a boundary term $Γ_H$, located at horizon. For a class of static and spherically symmetric black holes in vacuum, the explicit formula reads $δΓ_H=TδS$, where $T$ is black hole temperature and $S$ entropy. Here, we analyze a new member of the same class, the Reissner-Nordström-like black hole with torsion [1], where the electric charge of matter is replaced by a gravitational parameter, induced by the existence of torsion. This parameter affects $δΓ_H$ in a way that ensures the validity of the first law.
A Hamiltonian variational approach is used to study asymptotic charges and entropy of Kerr-AdS black holes in the general Poincaré gauge theory, with both even and odd parity modes. The results turn out to be the same as those found earlier in the sector of parity invariant Lagrangians.
A Hamiltonian approach to black hole entropy is used to study Riemannian Kerr-AdS solutions in the general, parity-violating Poincaré gauge theory. Entropy and the asymptotic charges are entirely determined by the parity-even sector of the theory, whereas the parity-odd contributions vanish. Entropy is found to be proportional to the horizon area, and the first law of black hole thermodynamics is confirmed.
Using a Hamiltonian approach, we introduce black hole entropy for Kerr-AdS spacetimes with torsion as the canonical charge on horizon. In spite of a completely different geometric setting with respect to GR, the resulting thermodynamic variables, energy, angular momentum and entropy, are shown to be proportional to the corresponding GR expressions. The validity of the first law is confirmed.
We study the behavior of geodesics in the plane-fronted wave background of the three-dimensional (3D) gravity with propagating torsion, which possesses only massive degrees of freedom. We discover the velocity memory effect, in contrast to the current belief that its existence is due to the presence of soft particles.
A general Hamiltonian approach to black hole thermodynamics is used to study entropy and conserved charges for Kerr-AdS solutions in general relativity. These thermodynamic variables are first consistently defined by choosing suitable boundary conditions, and then, they are shown to satisfy the first law of black hole dynamics
Black hole thermodynamics of the Kerr-AdS spacetime in three-dimensional general relativity is analyzed using a Hamiltonian approach. The values of the conserved charges and entropy, obtained by a proper treatment of the AdS asymptotic conditions, are shown to satisfy the first law of black hole dynamics.
The canonical generator $G$ of local symmetries in Poincaré gauge theory is constructed as an integral over a spatial section $Σ$ of spacetime. Its regularity (differentiability) on the phase space is ensured by adding a suitable surface term, an integral over the boundary of $Σ$ at infinity, which represents the asymptotic canonical charge. For black hole solutions, $Σ$ has two boundaries, one at infinity and the other at horizon. It is shown that the canonical charge at horizon defines entropy, whereas the regularity of $G$ implies the first law of black hole thermodynamics.
Basic aspects of the Hamiltonian structure of the parity-violating Poincaré gauge theory are studied. We found all possible primary constraints, identified the corresponding critical parameters, and constructed the generic form of the canonical Hamiltonian. In addition to being important in their own right, these results offer dynamical information that is essential for a proper understanding of the particle spectrum of the theory, calculated in the weak field approximation around the Minkowski background.
We analyzed static spherically symmetric solutions of the five dimensional (5D) Lovelock gravity in the first order formulation. In the Riemannian sector, when torsion vanishes, Boulware-Deser black hole represents a unique static spherically symmetric black hole solution for the generic choice of the Lagrangian parameters. We showed that the special choice of the Lagrangian parameters, different from the Lovelock Chern-Simons gravity, leads to the existence of the static black hole solution with torsion, which metric is asymptotically AdS. We calculate conserved charges and thermodynamical quantities of the black hole solution.
A family of exact vacuum solutions, representing generalized plane waves propagating on the (anti-)de Sitter background, is constructed in the framework of Poincaré gauge theory. The wave dynamics is defined by the general Lagrangian that includes all parity even and parity odd invariants up to the second order in the gauge field strength. The structure of the solution shows that the wave metric significantly depends on the spacetime torsion.
We analyse holographic field theory dual to Lovelock Chern-Simons AdS Gravity in higher dimensions using first order formalism. We first find asymptotic symmetries in the AdS sector showing that they consist of local translations, local Lorentz rotations, dilatations and non-Abelian gauge transformations. Then, we compute $1$-point functions of energy-momentum and spin currents in a dual conformal field theory and write Ward identities. We find that the holographic theory possesses Weyl anomaly and also breaks non-Abelian gauge symmetry at the quantum level.
General criteria for the existence of conformally flat Riemannian solutions in 3D Poincaré gauge theory without matter are formulated. Using these criteria, we show that the Oliva-Tempo-Troncoso black hole, a solution of the Bergshoeff-Hohm-Town\-send gravity, is also an exact vacuum solution of the Poincaré gauge theory. The related conserved charges, calculated from the Hamiltonian boundary term, are shown to satisfy the first law of black hole thermodynamics. The form of the boundary term is verified by using the covariant Hamiltonian approach.
