A Generalized Cardy Formula for Black Hole
Microstates
We will propose a formalism for counting the microstates
of a class of three-dimensional black holes, which are not
asymptotically AdS. The formalism rests on the invariance
of a dual field theory under a generalized modular
transformation and is extended to Rindler horizons by a
singular limit.
