We show that an $SL(2,R)_L times SL(2,R)_R$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to a source on a manifold with the topology of a disk correctly describes the entropy of the AdS$_3$ black hole. The resulting boundary WZNW theory leads to two copies of a twisted Kac-Moody algebra, for which the respective Virasoro algebras have the same central charge $c$ as the corresponding untwisted theory. But the eigenvalues of the respective $L_0$ operators are shifted. We show that the asymptotic density of states for this theory is, up to logarithmic corrections, the same as that obtained by Strominger using the asymptotic symmetry of Brown and Henneaux.
A multidimensional gravitational model containing scalar fields and antisymmetric forms is considered. The manifold is chosen in the form $M = M_0 times M_1 times cdots times M_n$, where $M_i$ are Einstein spaces ($i geq 1$). The sigma-model approach
We present a construction which associates an infinite sequence of Kac-Moody algebras, labeled by a positive integer n, to one single Jordan algebra. For n=1, this reduces to the well known Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction. Our generalization utilize
We revisit the covariant phase space formalism applied to gravitational theories with null boundaries, utilizing the most general boundary conditions consistent with a fixed null normal. To fix the ambiguity inherent in the Wald-Zoupas definition of
We propose a new non-holographic formulation of AdS/CFT correspondence, according to which quantum gravity on AdS and its dual non-gravitational field theory both live in the same number D of dimensions. The field theory, however, appears (D-1)-dimen
Holography relates the quasinormal modes frequencies of AdS black holes to the pole structure of the dual field theory propagator. These modes thus provide the timescale for the approach to thermal equilibrium in the CFT. Here, we study how such pole
