Reduced phase space formalism for spherically symmetric geometry with a massive dust shell
John L. Friedman, Jorma Louko, Stephen N. Winters-Hilt
We perform a Hamiltonian reduction of spherically symmetric Einstein gravity with a thin dust shell of positive rest mass. Three spatial topologies are considered: Euclidean (R^3),…

Hamiltonian thermodynamics of a Lovelock black hole
Jorma Louko, Jonathan Z. Simon, Stephen N. Winters-Hilt
We consider the Hamiltonian dynamics and thermodynamics of spherically symmetric spacetimes within a one-parameter family of five-dimensional Lovelock theories. We adopt boundary c…

Hamiltonian thermodynamics of the Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter black hole
Jorma Louko, Stephen N. Winters-Hilt
We consider the Hamiltonian dynamics and thermodynamics of spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant. We impose boundary conditions th…
