Aspects of Holography in Three-Dimensional Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes — •Michel Pannier — FSU Jena

A well-studied realisation of the Holographic Principle is provided by the AdS/CFT duality. However, Holography is expected to hold in rather general circumstances and should be extended to different examples, such as models containing asymptotically de Sitter or flat space-times. The latter is the idea of the talk, in particular focusing on the introduction of propagating, massive degrees of freedom to an otherwise purely topological three-dimensional theory of gravity. Particular emphasis is laid on the utilisation of techniques that are known from the study of higher-spin gravity as a Chern-Simons gauge theory.
