Time-dependent open string solutions in (2+1)-dimensional gravity
Abstract
We find general, time-dependent solutions produced by open string sources carrying no momentum flow in (2+1)-dimensional gravity. The local Poincaré group elements associated with these solutions and the coordinate transformations that transform these solutions into a Minkowski metric are obtained. We also find the relation between these solutions and the planar wall solutions in 3+1 dimensions.
