On the negative spectrum of the 2+1 black hole

arXiv:0904.0475 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.105011

Abstract

In (2+1)-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant, the states in the negative energy range, between AdS (M=-1) and the so-called BTZ black hole (), correspond to topological defects with angular deficit . These defects are produced by (static or spinning) 0-branes which, in the extreme case , admit globally-defined covariantly constant spinors. Thus, these branes correspond to BPS solitons and are stable ground state candidates for the corresponding supersymmetric extension of 2+1 AdS gravity. These branes constitute external currents that couple in a gauge-invariant way to three-dimensional AdS gravity.
