On the extension of Jackiw's scalar theory to (2+1)- dimensional gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/0104094

Abstract

We study some aspects of three-dimensional gravity by extending Jackiw's scalar theory to (2+1)-dimensions and find a black hole solution. We show that in in general this teory does not possess a Newtonian limit except for special metric configurations.
