Cosmological sector for localized mass and spin in 2+1 dimensional topologically massive gravity
Abstract
Description
The cosmological sector to the full non-linear topologically massive gravity (TMG) is obtained for localized sources of mass $m$ and spin $σ$ besides the asymptotically spinning conical flat sector previously obtained. In a small region near but outside the sources, the metric resembles the spinning conical flat metric, but we find that the mass $m$ creates a negative deficit angle of $3m$ as opposed to $m$. Furthermore, it is not possible to recover the results of pure Einstein gravity in the limit $μ\to \infty$ unlike the flat sector.
