Warped AdS3 black holes in higher derivative gravity theories

Abstract: We consider warped AdS 3 black holes in generic higher derivatives gravity theories in 2+1 dimensions. The asymptotic symmetry group of the phase space containing these black holes is the semi-direct product of a centrally extended Virasoro algebra and an affine u(1) Kac-Moody algebra. Previous works have shown that in some specific theories, the entropy of these black holes agrees with a Cardy-like entropy formula derived for warped conformal field theories. In this paper, we show that this entropy matching c… Show more

“…For several instances of WAdS 3 one can establish that the asymptotic symmetries form a Virasoro-Kac-Moody algebra, which is an extension of their local SL(2, R) × U (1) Killing symmetries [32][33][34][35][36][37][38], thus precisely matching the defining symmetries of a WCFT. Remarkably, WCFTs exhibit modular properties that allow to derive a Cardy-type formula for the asymptotic degeneracy of states, which is found to match the entropy of the corresponding WAdS 3 black holes [15,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45], in the spirit of [4]. This is taken as an indication that WCFTs could be relevant to give a microstate description of certain classes of black holes in lower dimensions.…”
