Evanescent gravitons in warped anti-de Sitter space

Sumario:Besides black holes, the phase space of three-dimensional massive gravity about warped anti-de Sitter space contains solutions that decay exponentially in time. They describe evanescent graviton configurations that, while governed by a wave equation with nonvanishing effective mass, do not carry net gravitational energy. Explicit examples of such solutions have been found in the case of topologically massive gravity; here, we generalize them to a much more general ghost-free massive deformation, with the difference being that the decay rate gets corrected due to the presence of higher-order terms. © 2016 American Physical Society.
