The BTZ black hole spectrum and partition function
Abstract
In this article, we revisit the spectrum of the Lorentzian BTZ black hole conformal field theory. Building on a detailed analysis of geodesics, we identify a complete set of states for the harmonic analysis. We then demonstrate that the CFT spectrum is, plausibly, that of AdS3 by rewriting the partition function of the latter CFT.
