The Classical Solutions of the Dimensionally Reduced Gravitational Chern-Simons Theory
read the original abstract
The Kaluza-Klein reduction of the 3d gravitational Chern-Simons term to a 2d theory is equivalent to a Poisson-sigma model with fourdimensional target space and degenerate Poisson tensor of rank 2. Thus two constants of motion (Casimir functions) exist, namely charge and energy. The application of well-known methods developed in the framework of first order gravity allows to construct all classical solutions straightforwardly and to discuss their global structure. For a certain fine tuning of the values of the constants of motion the solutions of hep-th/0305117 are reproduced. Possible generalizations are pointed out.

Minimal Factorization of Chern-Simons Theory -- Gravitational Anyonic Edge Modes
Minimal edge modes compatible with Chern-Simons topological invariance are proposed as quantum group particles, yielding a factorization of 3d gravity state space that matches proposals linking Bekenstein-Hawking entr...
