Mass and angular momenta of Kerr-anti-de Sitter spacetimes
Abstract
Description
We briefly review how to compute the mass and angular momenta of rotating, asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity using superpotentials derived from standard Noether identities. The calculations depend on the asymptotic form of the metrics only and hence take no account of the source of the curvature. When the source of curvature is a black hole, the results can be checked using the first law of black hole thermodynamics.
