Strings in the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space in the NS background is described by the SL(2, R) WZW model. We present a complete description of the Hilbert space of the model. We then compute the one-loop partition function for Euclidean BTZ black hole backgrounds or equivalently thermal AdS3 backgrounds which are quotients of Euclidean AdS3. We see long strings and discrete states in agreement with the structure of the Hilbert space.

We study the three-dimensional Schwarzschild–de Sitter ( SdS 3) black hole which corresponds essentially to a conical defect. We compute the mass of the SdS 3 black hole from the correct definition of the mass in asymptotically de Sitter space. Then we clarify the relation between the mass, entropy and temperature for this black hole without any ambiguity. We also establish the SdS 3/ CFT 2-correspondence for the entropy by applying the Cardy formula to a CFT with a central charge c = 3ℓ/2G3. Finally we discuss the entropy bounds for the SdS 3 black hole.

Recently Hod proposed a lower bound on the relaxation time of a perturbed thermodynamic system. For gravitational systems this bound transforms into a condition on the fundamental quasinormal frequency. We test the bound in some space–times whose quasinormal frequencies are calculated exactly, as the three-dimensional BTZ black hole, the D-dimensional de Sitter space–time, and the D-dimensional Nariai space–time. We find that for some of these space–times their fundamental quasinormal frequencies do not satisfy the bound proposed by Hod.

A conformal field theory on the boundary of three-dimensional asymptotic anti-de Sitter spaces which appear as near horizon geometry of D-brane bound states is discussed. It is shown that partition functions of gravitational instantons appear as high and low temperature limits of the partition function of the conformal field theory. The result reproduces phase transition between the anti-de Sitter space and the BTZ black hole in the bulk gravity.
