| dc.description | Pure gravity in (2+1)-dimensions with negative cosmological constant is classically equivalent Chern-Simons gauge theory with gauge group SO(2; 2), which may be realized on chiral and antichiral gauge connections. This paper looks at half-AdS geometries i.e. those with a trivial rightmoving gauge connection while the left-moving connection is a standard (Banados-Teitelboim- Zanelli) BTZ connection. These are shown to be related by diffeomorphism to a BTZ geometry with different mass and angular momentum. Generically this is over-spinning, leading to a naked closed timelike curves. Other closely related solutions are also studied. These results suggest that the measure of the Chern-Simons path integral cannot factorize in a chiral way, if it is to represent a sum over physically sensible states. | |
