Symmetries at Causal Boundaries in 2D and 3D Gravity

et al.

Abstract: We study 2d and 3d gravity theories on spacetimes with causal (timelike or null) codimension one boundaries while allowing for variations in the position of the boundary. We construct the corresponding solution phase space and specify boundary degrees freedom by analysing boundary (surface) charges labelling them. We discuss Y and W freedoms and change of slicing in the solution space. For D dimensional case we find D + 1 surface charges, which are generic functions over the causal boundary. We show that there… Show more

“…In general, the integrable charge from Barnich-Troessaert prescription is different from the Noether charge. However it is conjectured in [20] and further verified in [67] that the two charges can be made identical by introducing a W term in the symplectic structure. We hope this W term and our 2-cocycle term can play a role in resolving the Kerr/CFT and Wald entropy discrepancy in high derivative gravities [68][69][70].…”
