Generalized off-shell ADT conserved charges in the presence of matter Chern–Simons term

Abstract

In this paper we elevate the formalism for off-shell Abbott–Deser–Tekin (ADT) conserved charges in the presence of arbitrary matter fields to including the internal gauge transformation, when the gauge fields are present. For this purpose, we resort to exact symmetry, and the symmetry generator is combined by diffeomorphism and internal gauge transformation. For universality, we consider an apparently non-covariant Lagrangian, which contains a matter Chern–Simons term. We show that the elevated off-shell ADT formalism is equivalent to the covariant phase space method and the Barnich–Brandt–Compère (BBC) formalism. To check the validity of our method, we explicitly compute the conserved charges of general non-extremal rotating charged Gödel black holes in minimal five-dimensional gauged supergravity, reproducing the previously known results.
