New Black Strings in Three Dimensions

Abstract

We present two different families of stationary black strings in three dimensions carrying electric and axion charges. Both solutions contain a singular region, which however is quite harmless for string frame geodesic observers, because the solutions are causally geodesically complete. In addition, we exhibit a variety of extremal limits of our solutions, and argue that there must exist a more general family continuously interpolating between them.
