Black Hole Entropy in the presence of Chern-Simons Terms

Yuji Tachikawa

Published 2006-11-14, updated 2006-11-21Version 2

We derive a formula for the black hole entropy in theories with gravitational Chern-Simons terms, by generalizing Wald's argument which uses the Noether charge. It correctly reproduces the entropy of three-dimensional black holes in the presence of Chern-Simons term, which was previously obtained via indirect methods.
