Anti anti-de Sitter black holes

Abstract:
Most known black holes in 3 dimensional space-times have an entropy that can be accounted for by Cardy-type counting formulas. In almost all of these cases, the match can be traced back to the presence of an (A)dS factor either in the asymptotic or the near-horizon regions. In this talk I will focus on space-times devoid of this property and discuss some of their geometric and thermodynamic properties.
