Validate if User/Request is authenticated .net core

Question

I have implemented cookie authentication together with Novel ldap authentication in my .net core application. I have a login screen where the users enters their credentials and once authenticated it redirects them to Home page. On my Login layout page I want to have a logout link which logouts the user out of the application. Earlier in my .net mvc application I could do:

 @if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
 {
   <li><a href="#">Hello, @ViewData["FullName"] !</a></li>
   <li><a href="@Url.Action("Logout", "Account")">Log Out</a></li>
 }
 else
 {
   <li><a href="@Url.Action("Login", "Account")">Log In</a></li>
 }

All my authentication, redirects etc work fine but whats the equivalent of Request.IsAuthenticated in .net core or how can I check if the user is authenticated and show links etc accordingly.

Would appreciate inputs

What svek shared above should work. Debug to see if you are authenticating properly, you are setting up your cookies fine.

Specifically for .net core this should work.

 @if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
 {
   <a asp-area="" asp-controller="YouController" asp-action="YourAction">Logout</a>
 }
