Generalized Smarr formula as a local identity for arbitrary dimensional black holes

We discuss a method based on Killing symmetries and Komar conserved charges to generalize Smarr mass formula for arbitrary dimensional charged, rotating spacetime. We derive a local identity defined at the event horizon of the rotating black hole in Einstein-Maxwell gravity which reproduces the generalized Smarr formula as a by-product. The advantages of this new identity are the following: (i) unlike Smarr formula, which is non-local, this identity is purely local and hence a switchover between horizon and infinity is unnecessary and (ii) the new identity could be mapped with the recent investigations on emergent gravity.
