On Acceleration in Three Dimensions
arXiv:2202.08823 · doi:10.1007/JHEP05(2022)063
Abstract
We go "back to basics", studying accelerating systems in AdS gravity \textit{ab initio}. We find three classes of geometry, which we interpret by studying holographically their physical parameters. From these, we construct stationary, accelerating point particles; one-parameter extensions of the BTZ family resembling an accelerating black hole; and find new solutions including a novel accelerating "BTZ geometry" not continuously connected to the BTZ black hole as well as some black funnel solutions.
