The linearized perturbation equations can be solved exactly in this case. By choosing standard boundary conditions appropriate to the stability problem, we demonstrate the absence of modes which grow in time, for all values of the Chern-Simons coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-06-29T07:55:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.70.Bw" ], "keywords": [ "btz black hole", "topologically massive gravity", "classical stability", "choosing standard boundary conditions appropriate", "linearized perturbation equations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2010, "month": "Dec", "volume": 82, "number": 12, "pages": 124059 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 859825, "adsabs": "2010PhRvD..82l4059B" } } }
