Item New classes of black hole spacetime in 2+1 gravity(2015-03-01) Bose, Sukanta; Dadhich, Naresh; Kar, SyanNew multi-parameter families of black holes in three-dimensional (3D) gravity are obtained. We apply the electrogravity transformation (which implies an exchange of the Ricci and Einstein tensors) to the 3D field equations to obtain these solutions. Several properties of these geometries, including the nature of the matter that threads them, are discussed. Some of these properties are found to be strikingly different from known black holes in (2+1) dimensions.Item Gravoelectric-dual of the kerr solution(2015-03-01) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.By decomposing the Riemann curvature into electric and magnetic parts, we define the gravoelectric duality transformation by interchange of active and passive electric parts which amounts to interchange of the Ricci and Einstein tensors. It turns out that the vacuum equation is duality-invariant. We obtain solutions dual to the Kerr solution by writing an effective vacuum equation in such a way that it still admits the Kerr solution but is not duality invariant. The dual equation is then solved to obtain the dual-Kerr solution which can be interpreted as the Kerr black hole sitting in a string dust universe.
