Black Holes of Constant Curvature
Maximo Banados
Black holes of constant curvature are constructed by identifying points in anti-de Sitter space. In n dimensions the resulting topology is R^{n-1} * S_1, as opposed to the usual R^…
Darboux coordinates for (first order) tetrad gravity
Maximo Banados, Mauricio Contreras
The Hamiltonian form of the Hilbert action in the first order tetrad formalism is examined. We perform a non-linear field redefinition of the canonical variables isolating the part…
A note on the gauge symmetries of pure Chern-Simons theories with p-form gauge fields
M. Banados, M. Henneaux, C. Iannuzzo +1
The gauge symmetries of pure Chern-Simons theories with p-form gauge fields are analyzed. It is shown that the number of independent gauge symmetries depends crucially on the parit…
Constant Curvature Black Holes
Maximo Banados
Constant curvature black holes are constructed by identifying points in anti-de Sitter space. In n dimensions, the resulting topology is R^{n-1} * S_1, as opposed to the usual R^2…
