Warped AdS_3 black holes in new massive gravity

TL;DR

This paper explores various black hole solutions in a new three-dimensional massive gravity theory, including warped AdS_3 and special AdS_2 x S^1 solutions, and calculates their key physical properties.

Contribution

It introduces warped AdS_3 black holes in a novel massive gravity framework and analyzes their thermodynamic characteristics, expanding the landscape of known solutions.

Findings

Warped AdS_3 black holes are found in the theory.

Entropy, mass, and angular momentum are computed for these solutions.

AdS_2 x S^1 solutions appear at a critical cosmological constant.

Abstract

We investigate stationary, rotationally symmetric solutions of a recently proposed three-dimensional theory of massive gravity. Along with BTZ black holes, we also obtain warped AdS_3 black holes, and (for a critical value of the cosmological constant) AdS_2 x S^1 as solutions. The entropy, mass and angular momentum of these black holes are computed.
