The BTZ spacetime as an algebraic embedding

A simple algebraic global isometric embedding is presented for the nonrotating BTZ black hole and its counterpart of Euclidean signature. The image of the embedding, in Minkowski space of two extra dimensions, is the interection of two quadric hypersurfaces. Furthermore an embedding into $AdS_4$ or $H_4$ is also obtained, showing that the spacetime is of embedding class one with respect to maximally symmetric space of negative curvature. The rotating solution of Euclidean signature is also shown to admit a quadratic algebraic embedding, but seemingly requires more than two extra dimensions.
