Abstract

We consider “dimensionally reduced” gravitational solutions. We write a domain wall ansatz and solve the Einstein equations for it, first for a perturbative nonrelativistic solution, and then for a nonperturbative relativistic one. We write a cosmic string ansatz and solve Einsein's equations by dimensional reduction to 2+1 dimensions, and alternatively in the weak field limit. We define the cosmological constant and write an ansatz for a 2+1 dimensional black hole in a space with cosmological constant, obtaining the BTZ black hole solution. Anti–de Sitter space is defined in general, starting from the BTZ black hole for M = –1.
