The MTZ black hole, named after Cristian Martinez, Ricardo Troncoso and Jorge Zanelli, is a
black hole
A black hole is a massive, compact astronomical object so dense that its gravity prevents anything from escaping, even light. Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will form a black hole. Th ...
solution for (3+1)-dimensional gravity with a minimally coupled self-interacting
scalar field
In mathematics and physics, a scalar field is a function associating a single number to each point in a region of space – possibly physical space. The scalar may either be a pure mathematical number ( dimensionless) or a scalar physical ...
.
The event horizon is a surface of constant negative curvature, and the spacetime is asymptotically locally
anti-de Sitter.
