When two point particles, coupled to three dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant, approach each other with a sufficiently large center of mass energy, then a BTZ black hole is created. An explicit solution to the Einstein equations is presented, describing the collapse of two massless particles into a non-rotating black hole. Some general arguments imply that massive particles can be used as well, and the creation of a rotating black hole is also possible.

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Typical states in large-N holographic CFTs exhibit UV and IR length scales set by energy and charges, producing factorization that isolates black holes via a corona of saturated entanglement wedges and extends ETH to ...

  2. Mixed Solutions to the Liouville Equation

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit mixed-monodromy Liouville solutions are constructed and their large-hyperbolic limits are used to describe time-symmetric slices of 2+1 gravity with particles and black holes.
