    Description
    We show how a theorem of Sullivan provides a precise mathematical statement of a three-dimensional holographic principle. The implications for the BTZ black hole are discussed. We also study the relevance of the Gott time machine for the formation of BTZ black holes, and show how this leads to an exact analytic understanding of the Choptuik scaling.
