Black holes in generalized dilaton gravity in two dimensions

Abstract

We consider two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories with a generic exponential potential for the dilaton, and obtain the most general black hole solutions in the Schwarzshild form. We discuss their geometrical and thermodynamical properties. We also study these models from the point of view of gauge theories of the extended Poincaré group and show that they can be considered as gauge theories with broken symmetry. Finally, we examine the theory in a hamiltonian formalism and discuss its quantization and its symmetries.
