Abstract

We construct the conserved charge of generic gravity theories built on arbitrary contractions of the Riemann tensor (but not on its derivatives) for asymptotically (anti)-de Sitter spacetimes. Our construction is a generalization of the Abbott-Deser-Tekin charges of linear and quadratic gravity theories in cosmological backgrounds. As an explicit example we find the energy and angular momentum of the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole in the (2 + 1)-dimensional Born-Infeld gravity. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.86.124030
