SUMMARY:3d gravity and dual (warped) CFTs - Geoffrey Compere (ULB)
DTSTART:20150130T130000Z

CONTACT:Benson Way
DESCRIPTION:I will present an overview of recent results in 3d gravity in 
 connection with holography. I will first explain why the dual Liouville th
 eory to Einstein gravity can be defined everywhere in spacetime\, thanks t
 o the omnipresence of Virasoro charges in the spacetime bulk. I'll then pr
 esent alternative boundary conditions to the Brown-Henneaux boundary condi
 tions in AdS3 and derive the semi-classical field theory dual. I will fina
 lly present an example of a brane near-horizon geometry with local dynamic
 s\, which therefore evades the no-dynamics conjecture\, and with features 
 which can be described semi-classically by nearly a CFT.
