abstract

We re-derive the first law of black hole mechanics in the context of the Einstein-Maxwell theory in a gauge-invariant way introducing "momentum maps" associated to field strengths and the vectors that generate their symmetries. These objects play the role of generalized thermodynamical potentials in the first law and satisfy generalized zeroth laws, as first observed in the context of principal gauge bundles by Prabhu, but they can be generalized to more complex situations. We test our ideas on the $d$-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om-Tangherlini black hole.

  1. The Komar charge in presence of the Holst term and the gravitational Witten effect

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Holst term shifts the Komar mass of Taub-NUT space by -αN, giving a gravitational analog of the Witten effect.

  2. Covariant variation and its applications

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A metric-compatible covariant variation of tensors has a non-closure anomaly that reproduces electromagnetic helicity flux under superrotations and generalizes to higher-spin and p-form radiative data.
