Higher dimensional flat embeddings of black strings in 2+1 dimensions - art. no. 127502

We obtain (3 + 1)- and (3 + 2)-dimensional global flat embeddings of 2 + 1 uncharged and charged black strings, respectively. In particular, the charg ed black string, which is the dual solution of the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanel li black holes, is shown to be embedded in the same global embedding Minkow ski space structure as that of the 2 + 1 charged de Sitter black hole solut ion.
