36 EXACT SOLUTIONS AND SCALAR FIELDS IN GRAVITY<br />

8. THE 2+1 BTZ SOLUTION AS<br />

HYPERSURFACE OF THE 3+1 PC<br />

METRIC<br />

Let us now consi<strong>de</strong>r the Weyl zero [A] metric [3, 4].<br />

We shall show that this metric (be<strong>in</strong>g locally maximally symmetric by<br />

itself) admits locally as a (maximally symmetric) hypersurface the BTZ<br />

space-time [5], which occurs to be not totally geo<strong>de</strong>sic.<br />

In or<strong>de</strong>r to establish this assertion, we start with the conformally flat<br />

[A] metric, written as<br />

with structural functions<br />

Accomplish<strong>in</strong>g the coord<strong>in</strong>ate transformations<br />

the metric (72) is reducible to<br />

where corresponds to the metric of the well known BTZ black<br />

hole of the (2+l)-gravity:
