BTZ black hole from (3+1) gravity

Abstract

We propose an approach for constructing spatial slices of (3+1) spacetimes with cosmological constant but without a matter content, which yields (2+1) vacuum with solutions. The reduction mechanism from (3+1) to (2+1) gravity is supported on a criterion in which the Weyl tensor components are required to vanish together with a dimensional reduction via an appropriate foliation. By using an adequate reduction mechanism from the Plebański-Carter[A] solution in (3+1) gravity, the (2+1) BTZ solution can be obtained.
