Lorentz symmetry violating BTZ black holes in massive gravity

Abstract: BTZ black holes provide excellent frameworks for studying theories that are at the interface of classical and quantum gravity. In this paper we couple the Riemannian spacetime with the bumblebee field, in the background of massive gravity, which produces the violation of spontaneous Lorentz symmetry. In this setup we construct a large family of static vacuum BTZ black hole solutions. We study the asymptotic behaviour of curvature invariants and show that our resulting solutions describe asymptotically AdS (2+1)-dimensional BTZ black holes with negative cosmological constant. For positive cosmological constant they are de Sitter. Thermodynamics of these black holes is also analysed.
