Title: A Generalized Cardy Formula for Black Hole Microstates
Host: Nemanja
Room: 432
Abstract: We propose a formalism for counting the microstates of a class of three-dimensional black holes which are not asymptotically AdS. The formalism rests on the invariance of a dual field theory under a generalized modular transformation and is extended to Rindler horizons by a singular limit. We also obtain logarithmic corrections.
