Phys. Rev. D 73, 044006 (2006) [11 pages]Three-dimensional origin of Gödel spacetimes and black holesReceived 30 December 2005; published 7 February 2006 We construct Gödel-type black hole and particle solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory in 2+1 dimensions with a negative cosmological constant and a Chern-Simons term. On-shell, the electromagnetic stress-energy tensor effectively replaces the cosmological constant by minus the square of the topological mass and produces the stress-energy of a pressure-free perfect fluid. We show how a particular solution is related to the original Gödel universe and analyze the solutions from the point of view of identifications. Finally, we compute the conserved charges and work out the thermodynamics. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
