    On the normalization of Killing vectors and energy conservation in two-dimensional gravity

    Get PDF
    We explicitly show that, in the context of a recently proposed 2D dilaton gravity theory, energy conservation requires the ``natural'' Killing vector to have, asymptotically, an unusual normalization. The Hawking temperature THT_H is then calculated according to this prescription.Comment: 7 pages, Latex, no figure
