The obtained first law is of full cohomogeneity and allows for asymmetric distributions of Misner strings as well as their potential variable strengths---encoded in the gravitational Misner charges. Notably, the angular momentum is no longer given by the Noether charge over the sphere at infinity and picks up non-trivial contributions from Misner strings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-15T18:00:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "first law", "rotating nuts", "misner strings", "gravitational misner charges", "non-trivial contributions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
