The Effects of the Gravitational Chern-Simons Term in the AdS₂₊₁ Geometry

We study the effect of the gravitational Chern-Simons term (GCST) in the (2+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS$_{2+1}$) geometry. In the context of the gauge gravity, we obtain black hole solution and its boundary WZW theory. The BTZ black hole solution can still be retrieved but its gravitational mass and angular momentum become different from their inherent values. The deformation on these quantities due to the GCST can be summarized as $SO(1,1)$ times rescaling. The boundary WZW theory is found to be chiral, i.e., composed of the right moving part and the left moving part with different Kac-Moody levels. The statistical entropy is proportional to the area only for the large levels and vanishing GCST limit, but its coefficient is not the correct order in the Newton constant $G$. Some related physics are discussed.
