TL;DR
This work constructs a three-dimensional bi-vector-tensor theory by regularizing the Gauss–Bonnet invariant in Weyl geometry with two Weyl vectors, yielding regular AdS$_3$ black holes possessing two primary hairs. Introducing a deformation parameter $\kappa$ produces a complementary regular AdS$_3$ black-hole family, with horizon structure controlled by hair parameters and $\kappa$. Coupling to Born–Infeld electrodynamics yields regular charged AdS$_3$ black holes, maintaining $\Lambda=\Lambda_0$ and enriching the parameter space. The results offer a tractable 3D model for exploring regular interiors, black-hole thermodynamics with hair, and potential AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ entropy analyses, with prospects for microscopic entropy derivations and holographic insights.
Abstract
We obtain a three-dimensional bi-vector-tensor theory of the generalized Proca class by regularizing the Gauss-Bonnet invariant within the Weyl geometry. We show that the theory admits a regular AdS$_3$ black hole solution with primary hairs. Introducing a deformation in the theory, a different regular AdS$_3$ black hole solution is obtained. Charged generalizations of these solutions are given by coupling to Born-Infeld electrodynamics.
