Chern-Simon terms, Noether Charge and Entanglement entropy

by Dr. R. Loganayagam (IAS, Princeton)

Description
I will begin with a review of Wald's Noether charge method to assign
Black hole entropy with a special focus on pure and mixed
gravitational Chern-Simons(CS) terms. I will then describe how this
method can be applied to Black hole solutions found in arXiv:1311.2940
to reproduce the parity odd Cardy formula of the dual CFT. In the
second part of the talk, I will focus on deriving the entanglement
entropy functional for CS terms.
