Exact vacuum solution of a(1+2)-dimensional Poincaré gauge theory: BTZ solution with torsion

Abstract

In the framework of (1+2)-dimensional Poincaré gauge gravity, we start from the Lagrangian of the Mielke-Baekler (MB) model that depends on torsion and curvature and includes translational and Lorentzian Chern-Simons terms. We find a general stationary circularly symmetric vacuum solution of the field equations.We determine the properties of this solution, in particular its mass and its angular momentum. For vanishing torsion, we recover the BTZ-solution. We also derive the general conformally flat vacuum solution with torsion. In this framework, we discuss Cartan's (3-dimensional) spiral staircase and find that it is not only a special case of our new vacuum solution, but can alternatively be understood as a solution of the 3-dimensional Einstein-Cartan theory with matter of constant pressure and constant torque. file 3dexact19.tex, 2003-06-21

Holography in three-dimensional Kerr–de Sitter space with a gravitational Chern–Simons term

“…This has been computed in some standard canonical methods [15,16,17,18,19] and in the holographic methods [20,21]. It is found also that the black hole entropy which satisfies the first law of thermodynamics with the mass and angular momentum of (1.1) has a term proportional to the inner-horizon's area, as well as the usual outer-horizon's [21,22,23].…”

Electric field in 3D gravity with torsion

“…In this approach, the gravitational dynamics is characterized by both the torsion and the curvature [4,5]. Recent developments along these lines reveal a respectable dynamical content of 3D gravity with torsion, characterized, in particular, by the existence of the conformal asymptotic structure with two different central charges, the BTZ black hole with torsion, the Chern-Simons formulation and the supersymmetric extension [6,7,8,9].…”
