Noether current, black hole entropy and spacetime torsion

We show that the presence of spacetime torsion, unlike any other non-trivial modifications of the Einstein gravity, does not affect black hole entropy. The theory being diffeomorphism invariant leads to a Noether current and hence to a Noether charge, which can be associated to the heat content of t...
