Noether Current of the Surface Term of Einstein-Hilbert Action, Virasoro Algebra, and Entropy

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...
