Asymptotic Symmetry Algebra of Conformal Gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute asymptotic symmetry algebras of conformal gravity. Due to more general boundary conditions allowed in conformal gravity in comparison to those in Einstein gravity, we can classify the corresponding algebras. The highest algebra for non-trivial boundary conditions is five dimensional and it leads to global geon solution with non-vanishing charges.

Near-horizon conformal symmetry and black hole entropy.
Near an event horizon, the action of general relativity acquires a new asymptotic conformal symmetry. For two-dimensional dilaton gravity, this symmetry results in a chiral Virasoro algebra, and Cardy's formula for the density of states reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. This lends support to the notion that black hole entropy is controlled universally by conformal symmetry near the hor...
متن کاملAsymptotic structure of topologically massive gravity in spacelike stretched AdS sector
We introduce a natural set of asymptotic conditions in the spacelike stretched AdS sector of topologically massive gravity. The Poisson bracket algebra of the canonical generators is shown to have the form of the semi-direct sum of a u(1) Kac-Moody and a Virasoro algebra, with central charges. Using the Sugawara construction, we prove that the asymptotic symmetry coincides with the conformal sy...
متن کاملGravity as Conformally Invariant Mechanical System
We show that two-dimensional (2D) AdS gravity induces on the spacetime boundary a confor-mally invariant dynamics that can be described in terms of a de Alfaro-Fubini-Furlan model coupled to an external source with conformal dimension two. The external source encodes the information about the gauge symmetries of the 2D gravity system. Alternatively, there exists a description in terms of a mech...
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 کاملCanonical Theory of 2D Gravity Coupled to Conformal Matter
A canonical quantization for two dimensional gravity models, including a dilaton gravity model, is performed in a way suitable for the light-cone gauge. We extend the theory developed by Abdalla et.al.[1] and obtain the correlation functions by using the screening charges of the symmetry algebra. It turns out that the role of the cosmological constant term in the Liouville theory is played by t...
