Brown-Henneaux central charge in Chern-Simons formulation

In the article of Pérez, Tempo and Troncoso, in the Chern-Simons formulation for three-dimensional general relativity, they compute the canonical generator of charges \begin{align} Q\left[\varepsilon\ …

Symmetries of Dual Riemann tensor

In four dimensions, the dual of the Riemann tensor is defined as \begin{align} ^*R^{\mu}{}_{\nu}{}^{\gamma\delta}=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\alpha\beta\gamma\delta}R^{\mu}{}_{\nu\alpha\beta}\,. \end{align …

Hamiltonian equations of General Relativity

It is known that the Hamiltonian action principle for general relativity (with cosmological constant) is \begin{align} I_H\left[\gamma_{ij},\pi^{ij}\right]=\frac{1}{16\pi G}\int dt\;\int d^{n-1}x\;\le …

Closure of Lie brackets associated to Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions

When we impose Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions to the metric field on AdS$_3$, \begin{align} \begin{split} g_{tt}&=-\frac{r^2}{\ell^2}+\mathcal{O}(r^0)\,,\\ g_{t\phi}&=\mathcal{O}\left(r^0\r …

BTZ partition function

I am unable to obtain the internal energy of the BTZ black hole. Recall its metric, which is given by \begin{align} ds^2=-N^2(r)dt^2+\frac{dr^2}{N^2(r)}+r^2\left(d\phi+N^\phi(r)dt\right)^2\,, \end{al …

Confusion on metric determinant derivative

Maybe it is a stupid confusion. I need to compute the derivative of the metric determinant with respect to the metric itself, i.e., $\partial g/\partial g_{\mu\nu}$, but I have an indices confusion in …
