Three-dimensional Einstein gravity: Dynamics of flat space

Abstract

In three spacetime dimensions, the Einstein equations imply that source-free regions are flat. Localized sources can therefore only affect geometry globally rather than locally. Some of these effects, especially those generated by mass and angular momentum are discussed.
