The CFT-interpolating Black Hole in Three Dimensions


Abstract in English

We present a new exact black hole solution in three dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a single scalar field. This is one of the extended solutions of the BTZ black hole and has in fact $textrm{AdS}_3$ geometries both at the spatial infinity and at the event horizon. An explicit derivation of Virasoro algebras for $textrm{CFT}_2$ at the two boundaries is shown to be possible `{a} la Brown and Henneauxs calculation. If we regard the scalar field as a running coupling in the dual two dimensional field theory, and its flow in the bulk as the holographic renormalization group flow, our black hole should interpolate the two $textrm{CFT}_2$ living at the infinity and at the horizon. Following the Hamilton-Jacobi analysis by de Boer, Verlinde and Verlinde, we calculate the central charges $c_{textrm{UV}}$ and $c_{textrm{IR}}$ for the $textrm{CFT}_2$ on the infinity and the horizon, respectively. We also confirm that the inequality $c_{textrm{IR}} < c_{textrm{UV}}$ is satisfied, which is consistent with the Zamolodchikovs c-theorem.
