Comments on `` Black Hole Entropy from Conformal Field Theory in Any Dimension ''

TL;DR

This paper critiques Carlip's recent generalization of black hole entropy derivation from conformal field theory, highlighting issues in its formulation across dimensions.

Contribution

It provides two specific criticisms of Carlip's proposed extension, questioning its validity and consistency.

Findings

Identifies potential flaws in the generalization approach.

Highlights issues with the formulation's assumptions.

Questions the applicability across different dimensions.

Abstract

In a recent letter, Carlip proposed a generalization of the Brown-Henneaux-Strominger construction to any dimension. We present two criticisms about his formulation.
