Hamiltonian thermodynamics of charged black holes

We consider the most general diffeomorphism invariant action in 1+1 spacetime dimensions that contains a metric, dilaton and Abelian gauge field, and has at most second derivatives of the fields. Our action contains a topological term (linear in the Abelian field strength) that has not been considered in previous work. …
