Mass, action, and entropy of Taub-Bolt-de Sitter spacetimes.

/ Abstract
We apply a recent proposal for defining conserved mass in asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes to the class of Taub-Bolt-de Sitter spacetimes. We compute the action, entropy, and conserved mass of these spacetimes, and find that in certain instances the mass and entropy can exceed that of pure de Sitter spacetime, in violation of recent suggestive conjectures to the contrary.
