Thermodynamics and Holography of Three-dimensional Accelerating black holes

Abstract

We address the problem of describing the thermodynamics and holography of three-dimensional accelerating black holes. By embedding the solutions in the Chern-Simons formalism, we identify two distinct masses, each with its associated first law of thermodynamics. We also show that a boundary entropy should be included (or excluded) in the black hole entropy.
