Quasilocal Thermodynamics of Dilaton Gravity coupled to Gauge Fields

arXiv:gr-qc/9505007 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.4569

Abstract

We consider an Einstein-Hilbert-Dilaton action for gravity coupled to various types of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields in a spatially finite system. These include Yang-Mills fields and Abelian gauge fields with three and four-form field strengths. We obtain various quasilocal quantities associated with these fields, including their energy and angular momentum, and develop methods for calculating conserved charges when a solution possesses sufficient symmetry. For stationary black holes, we find an expression for the entropy from the micro-canonical form of the action. We also find a form of the first law of black hole thermodynamics for black holes with the gauge fields of the type considered here.
