Using symmetric space techniques, we show that closed orbits of the Iwasawa subgroups of $SO(2,l-1)$ naturally define singularities of a black hole causal structure in anti-de Sitter spaces in $l \geq 3$ dimensions. In particular, we recover for $l=3$ the non-rotating massive BTZ black hole. The method presented here is very simple and in principle generalizable to any semi-simple symmetric space.

Black Holes and Causal Structure in Anti-de Sitter Isometric Spacetimes

The observation that the (2 + 1)-dimensional BTZ black hole can be obtained as a quotient space of anti-de Sitter space leads one to ask what causal behaviour other such quotient spaces can display.…

Black hole in three-dimensional spacetime.

The standard Einstein-Maxwell equations in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, with a negative cosmological constant, admit a black hole solution that appears as a negative energy state separated by a mass gap from the continuous black hole spectrum.

Quotients of anti de Sitter space

We study the quotients of n+1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by one-parameter subgroups of its isometry group SO(2,n) for general n. We classify the different quotients up to conjugation by O(2,n).…
