We introduce a geometric transition between two homogeneous three-dimensional geometries: hyperbolic geometry and anti-de Sitter (AdS) geometry. Given a path of three-dimensional hyperbolic structures that collapse down onto a hyperbolic plane, we describe a method for constructing a natural continuation of this path into AdS structures. In particular, when hyperbolic cone manifolds collapse, the AdS manifolds generated on the “other side” of the transition have tachyon singularities. The method involves the study of a new transitional geometry called half-pipe geometry. We demonstrate these methods in the case when the manifold is the unit tangent bundle of the .2;m;m/ triangle orbifold for m 5.
