Accelerated black holes in an anti-de Sitter universe

The C-metric is one of few known exact solutions of Einstein's field equations which describes the gravitational field of moving sources. For a vanishing or positive cosmological constant, the C-metric represents two accelerated black holes in asymptotically flat or de Sitter spacetime. For a negative cosmological constant the structure of the spacetime is more complicated. Depending on the value of the acceleration, it can represent one black hole or a sequence of pairs of accelerated black holes in the spacetime with an anti-de Sitter-like infinity. The global structure of this spacetime is analyzed and compared with an empty anti-de Sitter universe. It is illustrated by 3D conformal-like diagrams.
