Phys. Rev. D 33, 319–323 (1986)Black holes in two spacetime dimensionsReceived 29 November 1984; published in the issue dated 15 January 1986 It is shown that the analog of the black hole exists in two-dimensional gravity. It is given by a metric which solves the vacuum field equation (constant curvature) everywhere except on a singular line. This geometry possesses an event horizon. There is as well an analog of Hawking radiation with temperature proportional to the strength (mass) of the singularity. © 1986 The American Physical Society URL:
