ASYMPTOTIC SYMMETRIES OF AdS2 AND CONFORMAL GROUP IN d=1

چکیده
We present a detailed discussion of the asymptotic symmetries of Anti-de Sitter space in two dimensions and their relationship with the conformal group in one dimension. We use this relationship to give a microscopical derivation of the entropy of 2d black holes that have asymptotically Anti-de Sitter behaviour. The implications of our results for the conjectured AdS2 /CFT1 duality are also discussed. E-Mail: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected]

Asymptotic Symmetries of Ads 2 Branes
I analyze the asymptotic symmetries of a theory of gravity in a background consisting of two patches of AdS3 spacetime glued together along an AdS2 brane. These are generated by a single Virasoro algebra, as expected from the conjectured dual description in terms of a scale-invariant interface separating two conformal field theories. Contributed to the proceedings of the Francqui Colloquium 200...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking, Central Charges and the AdS2/CFT1 Correspondence
When two-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space (AdS2 ) is endowed with a non-constant dilaton the origin of the central charge in the Virasoro algebra generating the asymptotic symmetries of AdS2 can be traced back to the breaking of the SL(2, R) isometry group of AdS2 . We use this fact to clarify some controversial results appeared in the literature about the value of the central charge in these m...
متن کاملAdS2 Quantum Gravity and String Theory
AdS2 has an SL(2, R) isometry group. It is argued that in the context of quantum gravity on AdS2 this group is enlarged to the full infinite-dimensional 1+1 conformal group. Massive scalar fields are coupled to AdS2 gravity and shown to have associated conformal weights h(m) shifted by their mass. For integral values of h primary boundary operators are obtained as h normal derivatives of the sc...
متن کاملGalilean Conformal Algebras and AdS/CFT
Non-relativistic versions of the AdS/CFT conjecture have recently been investigated in some detail. These have primarily been in the context of the Schrodinger symmetry group. Here we initiate a study based on a different nonrelativistic conformal symmetry: one obtained by a parametric contraction of the relativistic conformal group. The resulting Galilean conformal symmetry has the same number...
متن کاملOn the Near-Horizon Canonical Quantum Microstates from AdS2/CFT1 and Conformal Weyl Gravity
We compute the full asymptotic symmetry group of black holes belonging to the same equivalence class of solutions within the conformal Weyl gravity formalism. We do this within an AdS2/CFT1 correspondence and by performing a Robinson–Wilczek two-dimensional reduction, thus enabling the construction of effective quantum theory of the remaining field content. The resulting energy momentum tensors...
