Rotating hairy black hole and its microscopic entropy in three spacetime
dimensions
   [PDF]

Francisco Correa, Anibal Faundez, Cristian Martinez
We present a spinning hairy black hole in gravity minimally coupled to a self-interacting real scalar field in three spacetime dimensions. The black hole is characterized by having a single horizon which encloses a curvature singularity and the scalar field is regular everywhere. The mass and angular momentum are shown to be finite. The presence of a scalar field with a slower fall-off at infinity leads an anti-de Sitter asymptotic behavior which differs from the one found by Brown and Henneaux, but has the same symmetry group as in pure gravity. A scalar soliton, which is a finite mass regular solution devoid of integration constants, plays the role of the ground state. The existence of this soliton is the key to derive the semiclassical entropy of the rotating hairy black hole using the counting of microscopic states provided by the Cardy formula.
