Description
Extending recent findings of a $T^{3/2}$ dependence in the partition function of the deformed throat geometry of near-extremal BTZ, once quantum fluctuations are included, we compute one-loop quantum corrections to near-extremal warped AdS$_3$ black holes in topologically massive gravity. We find a characteristic $T^2$ scaling in the low temperature partition function, expressing the one-loop determinant of a thermal geometry in terms of a product over the quasinormal mode spectrum.
