The Three-Dimensional BTZ Black Hole as a Cylindrical System in Four-Dimensional General Relativity

arXiv:hep-th/9511189 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.53.4684

Abstract

It is shown how to transform the three dimensional BTZ black hole into a four dimensional cylindrical black hole (i.e., black string) in general relativity. This process is identical to the transformation of a point particle in three dimensions into a straight cosmic string in four dimensions.
