An explicit expression for the charge for new massive gravity in three dimensions is given. Some implications of the linearized equations are discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnergy definition for quadratic curvature gravitiesArticle861210.1103/PhysRevD.86.1275012-s2.0-84870612707N/AWOS:000311808400027Q1
