Area spectra versus entropy spectra in black holes in topologically massive gravity

Understand

We consider the area and entropy spectra of black holes in topologically massive gravity with gravitational Chern-Simons term.

• The examples we consider are the BTZ black hole and the warped AdS black hole.
• For the non-rotating BTZ black hole, the area and entropy spectra are equally spaced and independent of the coupling constant $\v$ of the Chern-Simons term.
• For the rotating BTZ black hole case, the spectra of the inner and outer horizon areas are not equally spaced in general and dependent of the coupling constant $\v$.
