Abstract
In this paper, we examine the validity of the first law of inner mechanics of black holes in Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity. We consider BTZ and spacelike warped black holes and show that the first law of inner mechanics is valid for given black holes in Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity. As we expect, due to the presence of the Lorentz Chern–Simons term in Lagrangian of considered model, the product of the entropies of the inner and outer horizons depends on the mass as it happens in Topologically Massive Gravity.

1 Introduction
It is well known that black holes have temperature and entropy, and obey the laws of thermodynamics [1, 2]. One interesting question which we can ask is this: what is the underlying statistical mechanical source of the black hole thermal properties? According to the AdS/CFT correspondence [3] black holes are dual to quantum states in the dual CFT, however this correspondence does not give a clear description about the black hole interior. It seems that the CFT does not contain operators that can describe the interior of black holes. But Papadodimas and Raju [4] have introduced such operators. The interesting and important result of [4] is this: “if one is allowed to use different operators to describe the interior of the black hole in different states of the CFT, gravity – then there is no need for firewalls at the horizon” [5,6,7].
In this paper we show that one can consider the inner thermodynamics of black holes similar to the outer-horizon thermodynamics. We investigate the validity of the first law of inner mechanics of black holes in Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity (GMMG) [8]. This model is realized by adding the Chern–Simons deformation term, the higher derivative deformation term, and an extra term to pure Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. In Ref. [8], it is discussed that this theory is free of negative-energy bulk modes, and also avoids the aforementioned “bulk-boundary unitarity clash”. By a Hamiltonian analysis one can show that the GMMG model has no Boulware–Deser ghosts and this model propagate only two physical modes. The validity of the first law of black hole inner mechanics in the framework of Topological Massive Gravity (TMG) [9,10,11] has been studied in [12]. Castro and Rodriguez [13] have obtained a formula for the products of horizon areas for solutions with non-spherical horizon topology in five dimensions, and have found that it is independent of the mass. However it has been shown that the product of the areas of the inner and outer horizons depends on the mass in the framework of TMG [12]. Here also we show that, due to the presence of the Lorentz Chern–Simons term in Lagrangian of GMMG model, the product of the entropies of the inner and outer horizons depends on the mass.
The organisation of this paper is as follows. In Sect. 2, we review the method of obtaining conserved charges in Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity. In Sect. 3 we consider GMMG as an example of Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity and discuss that in what conditions BTZ and spacelike warped \(\hbox {AdS}_{3}\) black holes are solutions of GMMG. In Sect. 4 we investigate properties of the inner horizons of BTZ and warped black holes in GMMG and show that outer/inner first law of black hole mechanics are satisfied at the outer/inner horizons of given black holes. The paper ends with conclusions in Sect. 5.
2 Conserved charges in Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity
Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity (CSLTG) [14, 15] is a class of gravitational theories in \((2 + 1)\) dimensions which can be formulated in terms of Dreibein, spin-connection and some auxiliary 1-form fields. TMG, New Massive Gravity (NMG) [16, 17], Minimal Massive Gravity (MMG) [18], Generalized Massive Gravity (GMG) [19], Zewi-Dreibein gravity [20] and GMMG are examples of CSLTG.
Let \(e^{a} = e^{a}_{\, \mu } dx^{\mu }\) be a Lorentz vector-valued 1-form, where \(e^{a}_{\, \mu }\) denotes the Dreibein. We use the lower case Greek letters for the spacetime indices, and the internal Lorentz indices are denoted by the lower case Latin letters. The metric signature is mostly plus. Spacetime metric \(g_{\mu \nu }\) and Dreibein are related as \(g_{\mu \nu }=\eta _{ab} e^{a}_{\, \mu } e^{a}_{\, \nu }\), where \(\eta _{ab}\) is Minkowski metric. The spacetime metric is invariant under Lorentz gauge transformations (or equivalently local Lorentz transformations, see Appendix J of [21]) \(e^{a} \rightarrow \Lambda ^{a}_{\, b} e^{b}\), where \(\Lambda \in SO(2,1)\). In 3D, one can define the dualized spin-connection 1-form as \(\omega ^{a}=\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon ^{abc} \omega _{bc}\), where \(\omega ^{a}_{\, b}= \omega ^{a}_{\, b \mu } dx^{\mu }\) is spin-connection 1-form. Likewise, dualized curvature and torsion 2-form can be defined as \(R(\omega ) = d \omega +\omega \times \omega \) and \(T(\omega ) = D(\omega )e=de+\omega \times e\), respectively. We use a 3D-vector algebra notation for Lorentz vectors in which contractions with \(\eta _{ab}\) and \(\varepsilon _{abc}\) are denoted by dots and crosses, respectively. Here, \(D(\omega )\) denotes covariant exterior derivative with respect to dualized spin-connection.
Suppose \( a^{ra}=a^{ra}_{\, \mu } dx^{\mu } \) are Lorentz vector valued 1-forms, where \(r=1, ..., N\) refers to the flavour index. In fact, \( a^{ra}\) is a collection of the Dreibein, the dualized spin-connection and the auxiliary fields, i.e. \(a^{ra}=\{ e^{a},\omega ^{a}, h^{a}, f^{a} , \ldots \}\), where \(h^{a}\) and \(f^{a}\) are Lorentz vector valued auxiliary 1-form fields. The CSLTG Lagrangian 3-form is given by
where \(\mathbf g _{rs} \) is a symmetric constant metric on the flavour space and \(\mathbf f _{rst}\) is the totally symmetric flavour tensor can be interpreted as coupling constant.
Conserved charge perturbation conjugate to a vector field \(\xi \) can be defined as [22,23,24,25]
where \(\Sigma \) is a space-like codimension-2 surface and \(\chi _{\xi }^{a}= \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon ^{a}_{\, bc} \lambda ^{ab}_{\xi }\), in which \(\lambda ^{ab}_{\xi }\) is generator of a Lorentz gauge transformation. Here, \(i_{\xi }\) denotes interior product in \(\xi \). To find conserved charges, one can take an integration from Eq. (2) over one-parameter path on the solution space [22]. In this way, background contribution is subtracted and then we will find a finite amount for charge. The conserved charge defined by Eq. (2) is not only conserved for the Killing vectors which are admitted by spacetime everywhere, but also it is conserved for the asymptotic Killing vectors. In general, \(\lambda _{\xi } ^{ab}\) is a function of spacetime coordinates and of the diffeomorphism generator \(\xi \). To use Eq. (2) we have to find an expression for \(\lambda _{\xi }^{ab}\) in terms of dynamical fields (i.e. we need a gauge fixing) when we compute conserved charges. An appropriate gauge fixing is [23, 24]:
where
is dualized torsion-free spin-connection and \(\nabla _{\mu }\) is covariant derivative with respect to the metric connection.
Stationary black hole spacetime admits two Killing vectors \(\partial _{t}\) and \(\partial _{\phi }\). The conserved charges conjugate to the Killing vectors \(\partial _{t}\) and \(-\partial _{\phi }\) refer to mass, \(\mathcal {M}=Q(\partial _{t})\), and angular momentum, \(\mathcal {J}=Q(-\partial _{\phi })\), respectively.
Black hole entropy is conserved charge conjugate to the horizon-generating Killing vector field [26,27,28,29]. The horizon-generating Killing vector field vanishes on the bifurcation surface. Using this fact, we can obtain a formula for black hole entropy [22, 23]:
where \(\mathcal {B}\) denotes the bifurcation surface.
3 Generalized minimal massive gravity
GMMG can be described by four flavours of 1-form, \(a^{r}= \{ e, \omega , h, f \}\) and the non-zero components of the flavour metric and the flavour tensor are
where \(\sigma \), \(\Lambda _{0}\), \(\mu \), m and \(\alpha \) are a sign, cosmological parameter with dimension of mass squared, mass parameter of the Lorentz Chern–Simons term, mass parameter of New massive gravity term and a dimensionless parameter, respectively. In order to give a physical explanation of free parameters of GMMG we list a few limiting cases:
In the limit where \(m^{2} \rightarrow \infty \) and \(\alpha \rightarrow 0\), GMMG reduces to TMG which propagates a single massive state with helicity \(+2\) or \(-2\) in \(\hbox {AdS}_{3}\), depending on the sign of \(\sigma \mu \). By setting \(\alpha =0\) and tending \(\mu \) to infinity, GMMG reduces to NMG. That model at linearized level contains a massive spin-2 mode with Fierz–Pauli mass \(M_{FP}^{2}= - \sigma m^{2} + \Lambda /2\). Therefore, depending on the sign of \(\sigma \) , either the massive or the massless mode will have negative energy. In flat space, where \(\Lambda = 0\), this problem can be resolved by taking \(\sigma = -1\).
If one just set \(\alpha =0\), GMMG reduces to GMG which is a torsion-free model. By turning \(\alpha \) on, a term will be added to the model which gives raise to the model have torsion. I this way, GMG will promote to GMMG which is not torsion free.
3.1 BTZ black hole
Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) black hole spacetime [30] can be described by the following Dreibein
with
where \(r_{\pm }\) are outer/inner horizon radiuses and l is \(\hbox {AdS}_{3}\) radius. One can use following ansatz
to show that BTZ black hole is a solution of GMMG provided that
where F and H are constant parameters [22]. For BTZ black hole Eqs. (2) and (5) can be simplified as
where H stand for the horizon.
3.2 Warped black holes
Spacelike warped \(\hbox {AdS}_{3}\) black hole (WBH) [31] can be described by the following Dreibein
with
where \(\hat{r}_{\pm }\) are outer/inner horizon radiuses. Here \(\zeta \) and \(\nu \) are free parameters which allow us to keep contact with [32,33,34,35]. The spacetime described by Dreibein (13) admits \(SL(2,\mathbb {R})\times U(1)\) as isometry group. Therefore, one can write a symmetric-two tensor as \(S_{\mu \nu }=a_{1} g_{\mu \nu } +a_{2} J_{\mu } J_{\nu }\), where \(J=\partial _{\hat{t}}\). It has been shown that warped black hole [described by Dreibein (13)] together with following ansatz
is a solution of GMMG provided that
where \(H_{1}\), \(H_{2}\), \(F_{1}\), \(F_{2}\) are constant parameters and \(J^{a} = e^{a}_{\, \mu } J^{\mu } \) [36]. For warped black hole Eqs. (2) and (5) can be simplified as
where \( \mathfrak {J}^{a}_{\, \mu }=J^{a}J_{\mu } \) for simplicity.
4 Inner mechanics
Now, we investigate properties of the inner horizons of BTZ and warped black holes in GMMG. We show that a first law proposed in [37] is satisfied at the inner horizons of given black holes. To do this, we perform arguments in parallel with [12].
4.1 BTZ black holes
Consider BTZ metric
Using Eq. (11), one can compute mass
and angular momentum
of BTZ black hole in GMMG [22]. These results are independent of choosing integration surface \(\Sigma \). Angular velocity of outer horizon (event horizon) is
Similarly, for inner horizon, we have
The outer/inner horizon-generating Killing vector fields are given by \(\zeta _{H^{\pm }}= \partial _{t}+ \Omega _{H^{\pm }} \partial _{\phi }\). Surface gravity can be computed by
Surface gravity and Hawking temperature are related as \(T_{H}= \kappa _{H}/2 \pi \), then the Hawking temperatures of the inner and outer horizons are
Since the outer/inner horizon-generating Killing vector fields are given by \(\zeta _{H^{\pm }}\) vanish on outer/inner horizon then we are allowed to use Eq. (12) to obtain outer/inner horizon entropy. The \(\phi \)–\(\phi \) components of metric and dualized spin-connection on outer/inner horizon are given by
Therefore, outer/inner horizon entropies can be computed as
These entropies can be written as
where
are central charges in GMMG [22] and
are right/left-moving temperatures. It can be easily checked that the outer/inner horizon entropies given by Eq. (32) obey the first laws of outer/inner mechanics
The product of the inner and outer horizon entropies is
From Eq.(65) in Ref. [22], one can deduce that right/left-moving energies in GMMG are given by
Thus, the product of the inner and outer horizon entropies can be written as
Since mass and angular momentum of BTZ black hole are related to right and left-moving energies as
then
Therefore in GMMG the product of the inner and outer horizon entropies depends on the mass of the black hole. It does not depend on mass when we set \(\mu \rightarrow \infty \).
4.2 Warped black holes
Now, we consider warped black hole metric
Using Eq. (22), one can compute mass
and angular momentum
of warped black hole in GMMG [36]. Here, \(\hat{c}_{R/L}\) are defined as
In Ref. [36], it has been shown that GMMG and spacelike warped boundary conditions can be regarded dual to a 2D CFT with central charges given by (45) and (46). Angular velocities of outer and inner horizons are given by
By using Eq. (29), one can obtain surface gravities and consequently Hawking temperatures of outer and inner horizons as
For warped black hole, we have
By substituting Eq. (49) into Eq. (23), we obtain outer/inner horizon entropies
By defining right and left-moving temperatures as
respectively, we can write outer/inner horizon entropies in the following form
which is the same as Eq. (33) for the BTZ black hole. Mass, angular momentum and outer/inner horizon entropies of warped black hole satisfy the first laws of outer/inner mechanics
Similar to Eq. (38), from Eq. (79) in Ref. [36], we can define right/left-moving energies for warped black hole in GMMG
then the product of the inner and outer horizon entropies can be written as
Right and left-moving energies are related to mass and angular momentum of warped black hole as
then we can write the inner and outer horizon entropies as
Again in GMMG the product of the inner and outer horizon entropies of warped black hole depends on the mass of the black hole.
5 Conclusion
We have summarized the method of obtaining conserved charges and black hole entropy in CSLTG. We have considered the GMMG model, as an example of the CSLTG. The BTZ and spacelike warped black holes are solutions of the GMMG model. We have shown that, for both black holes, outer/inner horizon entropies can be written as \(\mathcal {S}^{\pm }=\frac{\pi ^{2} l}{3} \left( c_{R}T_{R} \pm c_{L}T_{L}\right) \), where \(T_{R/L}\) are right/left-moving temperatures and \(c_{R/L}\) are central charges. These entropies satisfy the first law of outer/inner mechanics of black holes \(\delta \mathcal {M}= \pm T_{H^{\pm }} \delta \mathcal {S}^{\pm }+ \Omega _{H^{\pm }} \delta \mathcal {J}\). The product of the entropies of the inner and outer horizons can be written in terms of right and left-moving energies. We have shown that in GMMG, like TMG [12], the product of the inner and outer horizons entropies depends on the mass. This dependence comes from the contribution of the Lorentz Chern–Simons term in the Lagrangian. We state that \(\sigma \), \(\mu \), m, \(\Lambda _{0}\) and \(\alpha \) are parameters of GMMG model and physical conditions, such as no-ghost and no-tachyon conditions, determine their values. As one expects, mass, angular momentum and entropy of black holes depend on these parameters. All of the obtained results in this paper will be reduced to the results in TMG [12] when we set \(\sigma =-1\), \(\alpha =0\) and \(m^{2} \rightarrow \infty \).
