Black hole entropy in 3D gravity with torsion
The role of torsion in quantum three-dimensional gravity is investigated by
studying the partition function of the Euclidean theory in Riemann-Cartan
spacetime. The entropy of the black hole with torsion is found to differ from
the standard Bekenstein-Hawking result, but its form is in complete agreement
with the first law of black hole thermodynamics.Comment: 17 pages, RevTeX, minor revision
