Abstract
The standard Einstein-Maxwell equations in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, with anegative cosmological constant, admit a black hole solution. The 2+1 black hole-characterized by mass, angular momentum and charge, defined by flux integralsat infinity- is quite similar to its 3+1 counterpart. Anti-de Sitter spaceappears as a negative energy state separated by a mass gap from the continuousblack hole spectrum. Evaluation of the partition function yields that theentropy is equal to twice the perimeter length of the horizon.
