Constant Curvature Black Holes
Abstract
Constant curvature black holes are constructed by identifying points in anti-de Sitter space. In n dimensions, the resulting topology is Rn-1 * S1, as opposed to the usual R2 * Sn-2 Schwarzschild black hole, and the corresponding causal structure is displayed by a (n-1)-dimensional picture, as opposed to the usual 2-dimensional Kruskal diagram. The five dimensional case, which can be embedded in a Chern-Simons supergravity theory, is analyzed in detail.
