All static black holes inAdS3

Abstract

In this work we find the general static vacuum solution of three dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. Even though all solutions are locally diffeomorphic to pure $AdS_{3}$, solutions that differ globally from the latter space exist. New solutions with black holes on the $AdS_3$ boundary are found in both global and Poincare coordinates. In the Poincare coordinates such solutions are known as black funnels and black droplets. The black funnel provided by our general static metric is dual to the Hartle-Hawking state in the $1+1$ boundary theory.
