Phys. Rev. D 51, 632–637 (1995)Statistical mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black holeReceived 26 September 1994; published in the issue dated 15 January 1995 The presence of a horizon breaks the gauge invariance of (2+1)-dimensional general relativity, leading to the appearance of new physical states at the horizon. I show that the entropy of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole can be obtained as the logarithm of the number of these microscopic states. © 1995 The American Physical Society URL:
