Asymptotic symmetries of AdS2 Branes

Abstract

I analyze the asymptotic symmetries of a theory of gravity in a background consisting of two patches of ${\mathrm{AdS}}_3$ spacetime glued together along an ${\mathrm{AdS}}_2$ brane. These are generated by a single Virasoro algebra, as expected from the conjectured dual description in terms of a scale-invariant interface separating two conformal field theories.
