General definition of “conserved quantities” in general relativity and other theories of gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, a modification of the equation that must be satisfied by a Hamiltonian is proposed, which is applicable to a very general class of asymptotic conditions in arbitrary diffeomorphism covariant theories of gravity derivable from a Lagrangian.

Acoustic black holes: horizons, ergospheres and Hawking radiation

TL;DR: In this article, a pedagogical derivation of the Lagrangian equation for the velocity potential describing a sound wave is identical to that for a minimally coupled massless scalar field propagating in a (3 + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian geometry.

Aspects of the BMS/CFT correspondence

TL;DR: In this paper, the symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 4 dimensions is taken to be the semi-direct sum of supertranslations with infinitesimal local conformal transformations.

Pressure and volume in the first law of black hole thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass of a black hole is interpreted as being the enthalpy, with the pressure given by the cosmological constant, and a virial expansion is developed and a van der Waals like critical point determined.
