Ivo Sachs

TL;DR
This paper introduces an exact solution in 3D topologically massive gravity that models black hole formation and horizon dynamics within a chiral AdS pp-wave spacetime.
Contribution
It provides a novel exact solution demonstrating black hole formation and horizon evolution in topologically massive gravity with negative cosmological constant.
Findings
Exact solution interpolates between past horizon and chiral AdS pp-wave.
Time reversal yields an AdS pp-wave with a future event horizon.
Advances understanding of horizon dynamics in 3D gravity theories.
Abstract
We present an exact solution in 3-dimensional topologically massive gravity with negative cosmological constant which dynamically interpolates between a past horizon and a chiral AdS pp-wave. Similarly, upon time reversal, one obtains an AdS pp-wave with a future event horizon
