Three dimensional topologically massive gravity (TMG) with a negative cosmological constant ???2 and positive Newton constant G admits an AdS3 vacuum solution for any value of the graviton mass ?. These are all known to be perturbatively unstable except at the recently explored chiral point ?? = 1. However we show herein that for every value of ?? ? 3 there are two other (potentially stable) vacuum solutions given by SL(2,) ? U(1)-invariant warped AdS3 geometries, with a timelike or spacelike U(1) isometry. Critical behavior occurs at ?? = 3, where the warping transitions from a stretching to a squashing, and there are a pair of warped solutions with a null U(1) isometry. For 3$>?? > 3, there are known warped black hole solutions which are asymptotic to warped AdS3. We show that these black holes are discrete quotients of warped AdS3 just as BTZ black holes are discrete quotients of ordinary AdS3. Moreover new solutions of this type, relevant to any theory with warped AdS3 solutions, are exhibited. Finally we note that the black hole thermodynamics is consistent with the hypothesis that, for 3$>?? > 3, the warped AdS3 ground state of TMG is holographically dual to a 2D boundary CFT with central charges and .

Assuming any such identification acts only on the surfaces of constant θ, the possibilities have been well-studied [32], and there appears to be no candidate free of pathologies such as conical singularities or closed”
