Constant curvature black holes

Constant curvature black holes are constructed by identifying points in anti-de Sitter space. In n dimensions, the resulting topology is R(n-1)xS(1), as opposed to the usual R(2)xS(n-2) Schwarzschild black hole, and the corresponding causal structure is displayed by an (n-1)-dimensional picture, as opposed to the usual two-dimensional Kruskal diagram. The five-dimensional case, which can be embedded in a Chern-Simons supergravity theory, is analyzed in detail.
