A large variety of spacetimes---including the BTZ black holes---can be obtained by identifying points in 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space by means of a discrete group of isometries. We consider all such spacetimes that can be obtained under a restriction to time symmetric initial data and one asymptotic region only. The resulting spacetimes are non-eternal black holes with collapsing wormhole topologies. Our approach is geometrical, and we discuss in detail: The allowed topologies, the shape of the event horizons, topological censorship and trapped curves.

  1. Dirichlet walls and the end of time

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Generic Dirichlet-wall spacetimes can end in finite-time spacelike singularities at the wall, including walls that fall into BTZ black holes.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    A polynomial Plebański structural function H(P) enables the first realization of multicritical points in 4D GR, with the soliton sector exhibiting multiple first-order phase transitions whose number is set by the poly...

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    One-loop partition functions of massive spinning fields on any smooth cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold are expressed as Wilson spools, sums over free loops of holonomy traces in lowest-weight sl(2,R) representations.

  4. A Holographic Map from AdS$_3$ to CFT$_2$

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Semiclassical pure AdS3 gravity states, labelled by fixed-area geodesic networks, are mapped to CFT2 primary states whose wavefunctions are networks of OPE coefficients.
