abstract

The geometry of the spinning black holes of standard Einstein theory in 2+1 dimensions, with a negative cosmological constant and without couplings to matter, is analyzed in detail. It is shown that the black hole arises from identifications of points of anti-de Sitter space by a discrete subgroup of $SO(2,2)$. The generic black hole is a smooth manifold in the metric sense. The surface $r=0$ is not a curvature singularity but, rather, a singularity in the causal structure. Continuing past it would introduce closed timelike lines. However, simple examples show the regularity of the metric at $r=0$ to be unstable: couplings to matter bring in a curvature singularity there. Kruskal coordinates and Penrose diagrams are exhibited. Special attention is given to the limiting cases of (i) the spinless hole of zero mass, which differs from anti-de Sitter space and plays the role of the vacuum, and (ii) the spinning hole of maximal angular momentum . A thorough classification of the elements of the Lie algebra of $SO(2,2)$ is given in an Appendix.

Hawking radiation from black holes in 2+1 dimensions

gr-qc · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Black hole horizons in 2+1D are composed of quantized length quanta 8π ℓ_P n, producing entropy near the Bekenstein-Hawking value and a local Hawking spectrum via a length ensemble.

Timelike Liouville theory and AdS$_3$ gravity at finite cutoff

hep-th · 2025-08-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes that AdS3 gravity at finite cutoff is dual to a CFT2 coupled to timelike Liouville theory deformed by a marginal operator, with checks via semiclassical partition functions and EOM matching.

Undulating Conformal Boundaries in 3D Gravity

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Inhomogeneous torus boundaries in 3D gravity are thermodynamically favourable for AdS in the range 2 < K |Λ|^{-1/2} < 3/√2 and support macroscopic entropy for all Λ.

Spinning States and Unitarity in 3D Gravity

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Spinning states scaled with central charge cancel negative densities in 3D gravity, reinterpreted as bulk defects or overspinning BTZ quotients of AdS3 that preserve the gap but exhibit causal pathologies.

Multi-entropy in heavy local quenches

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Genuine multi-entropy in heavy local quenches in 2D holographic CFTs is kinematically fixed to logarithms of rational functions of time, independent of heavy operator dimension, due to global saddle selection in the geodesic network.

The degrees of freedom of multiway junctions in three dimensional gravity

hep-th · 2025-09-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

n-way junctions in 3D gravity correspond to n-1 coupled Nambu-Goto strings with Monge-Ampère sources whose degrees of freedom survive the tensionless limit, implying matter-like behavior from pure gravity and perfect reflection of wavepackets in the dual CFT.

The Carrollian Kaleidoscope

hep-th · 2025-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 1.0

A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
