The Birkhoff theorem for topologically massive gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/9904047

Abstract

We derive the general solution of topologically massive gravity in vacuum and in presence of a cosmological constant. The field equations reduce to three-dimensional Einstein equations and the solution has constant Ricci tensor. We briefly discuss the emergence of non-Ricci flat solutions when spin is introduced.
