A. Edery et Mb. Paranjape, COSMOLOGICAL SECTOR FOR LOCALIZED MASS AND SPIN IN 2-DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGICALLY MASSIVE GRAVITY(1), Physics letters. Section B, 415(4), 1997, pp. 344-348
The cosmological sector to the full non-linear topologically massive g
ravity (TMG) is obtained for localized sources of mass m and spin sigm
a besides the asymptotically spinning conical flat sector previously o
btained [A. Edery, M.B. Paranjape, gr-qc/9606029, to be published]. In
a small region near but outside the sources, the metric resembles the
spinning conical flat metric but we find that the mass m creates a ne
gative deficit angle of 3m as opposed to In. Furthermore, it is not po
ssible to recover the results of pure Einstein gravity in the limit mu
--> infinity unlike the flat sector. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
