Logarithmic corrections to entropy of 3D cosmological solutions from celestial dual

Abstract

Recently a one-dimensional Schwarzian type theory was proposed as an effective dual theory of pure gravity in (2+1) dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes \cite{Bhattacharjee:2023sfd}. This codimension-two `celestial' dual captures the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of bulk flat cosmologies in semiclassical limit. In this paper, we extend this analysis beyond semiclassical approximation and evaluate the one-loop exact partition function of this celestial dual theory. Our analysis results in novel nontrivial logarithmic corrections to the area term of entropy, appearing from the one-loop path integral.
