More on massive 3D gravity
Open accessAbstract
We explore the space of static solutions of the recently discovered three-dimensional ``new massive gravity'' (NMG), allowing for either sign of the Einstein-Hilbert term and a cosmological term parametrized by a dimensionless constant $\ensuremath{\lambda}$. For $\ensuremath{\lambda}=\ensuremath{-}1$ we find black hole solutions asymptotic (but not isometric) to the unique (anti) de Sitter [(A)dS] vacuum, including extremal black holes that interpolate between this vacuum and $(\mathrm{A}){\mathrm{dS}}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{S}^{1}$. We also investigate unitarity of linearized NMG in (A)dS vacua. We find unitary theories for some dS vacua, but (bulk) unitarity in AdS implies negative central charge of the dual conformal field theories (CFT), except for $\ensuremath{\lambda}=3$ where the central charge vanishes and the bulk gravitons are replaced by ``massive photons.'' A similar phenomenon is found in the massless limit of NMG, for which the linearized equations become equivalent to Maxwell's equations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
