ANTI-DE SITTER SPACE AND BLACK-HOLES

Anti-de Sitter space with identified points give rise to black-hole st ructures. This was first pointed out in three dimensions and generaliz ed to higher dimensions by Aminneborg et al. In this paper, we analyse several aspects of the five-dimensional anti-dr? Sitter black hole, i ncluding its relation to thermal anti-de Sitter space, its embedding i n a Chern-Simons supergravity theory, its global charges and holonomie s and the existence of Killing spinors.
