Noether current of the surface term of Einstein-Hilbert action, Virasoro
algebra and entropy

Bibhas Ranjan Majhi
A derivation of Noether current from the surface term of Einstein-Hilbert action is given. We show that the corresponding charge, calculated on the horizon, is related to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Also using the charge, the same entropy is found based on the Virasoro algebra and Cardy formula approach. In this approach, the relevant diffeomorphisms are found by imposing a very simple physical argument: diffeomorphisms keep the horizon structure invariant. Finally we discuss the technical simplicities and improvements over the earlier attempts and also various important physical implications.
