Abstract

Computing leading higher curvature contributions to thermodynamic quantities of AdS black hole is drastically simplified once the higher curvature terms are expressed in terms of powers of Weyl tensor by applying proper field redefinitions, avoiding the usual complications caused by higher derivative Gibbons-Hawking-York term or surface counterterms. We establish the method by computing the Euclidean action of general rotating anti–de Sitter (AdS) black holes in five-dimensional quadratic curvature theories with or without supersymmetry and verifying the results numerically. Our result is the state of the art for charged rotating AdS black holes in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity including corrections from all three supersymmetric curvature squared terms. Our approach facilitates precision tests in the AdS/CFT correspondence and should be applicable in diverse dimensions.

  49. When the curvature squared combinations contribute to the effective AdS radius, computing corrections to the Euclidean action using the original method of [17] must be exercised with caution. The correct expression for temperature, electric potential and angular velocities involve an extra factor γ=ℓ0/ℓeff. See Ref. [21] for example in the case of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Previous work [29] seems to have overlooked this factor although in their case, γ≠1. Consequently, the conserved charges obtained by differentiating Euclidean action with respect to these variable are incorrect.
