A new formula for the conserved charges in 3+1 gravity for spacetimes with local AdS asymptotic geometry is proposed. It is shown that requiring the action to have an extremum for this class of asymptotia sets the boundary term that must be added to the Lagrangian as the Euler density with a fixed weight factor. The resulting action gives rise to the mass and angular momentum as Noether charges associated to the asymptotic Killing vectors without requiring specification of a reference background in order to have a convergent expression. A consequence of this definition is that any negative constant curvature spacetime has vanishing Noether charges. These results remain valid in the limit of vanishing cosmological constant.

  1. Conformal Renormalisation of 8D Einstein Gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Holographic renormalisation of 8D Einstein-AdS gravity is recovered as the Einstein sector of the unique conformal gravity admitting constant-negative-curvature Einstein solutions, with matching counterterms.

  2. Thermodynamics of charged and accelerating black holes

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For charged accelerating AdS black holes in Maxwell, ModMax, and RegMax theories, topological renormalization of the Euclidean action differs from holographic renormalization by 2πℓ²μ₊T when the total cosmic string te...

  3. $\alpha'$ corrections to self-dual gravitational instantons

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    α' corrections leave the metric of self-dual instantons unmodified but correct the dilaton and axion fields via Gauss-Bonnet and Pontrjagin terms, with no net correction to the Euclidean action to first order.

  4. The first law of black hole thermodynamics for Taub-NUT spacetime

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The NUT parameter n is reinterpreted as producing rotation along Misner strings, giving a modified first law dM = T d(A/4G) + (1/n)d(Mn) - (1/(2n))d(nr+/G) for Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetime.

    gr-qc 2024-11 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

    A detailed worked example showing that the solution phase space method reproduces the known mass, angular momentum, entropy, first law, and Smarr relation for the BTZ black hole and three-dimensional Kerr-dS spacetime.
