We carry out the Hamiltonian formulation of the three- dimensional
gravitational teleparallelism without imposing the time gauge condition, by
rigorously performing the Legendre transform. Definition of the gravitational
angular momentum arises by suitably interpreting the integral form of the
constraint equation Gama^ik=0 as an angular momentum equation. The
gravitational angular momentum is evaluated for the gravitational field of a
rotating BTZ black hole.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, v2: some misprints corrected, Ref.s added, Eq.s
