- Physics
- 11 March 2013
A bstractNew chiral boundary conditions are found for quantum gravity with matter on AdS3. The associated asymptotic symmetry group is generated by a single right-moving U(1) Kac-Moody-Virasoro…
Classical central extension for asymptotic symmetries at null infinity in three spacetime dimensions
- G. Barnich, G. Compère
- Mathematics
- 26 October 2006
The symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in three dimensions is the semi-direct sum of the infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on the circle with an Abelian ideal of…
Surface charge algebra in gauge theories and thermodynamic integrability
- G. Barnich, G. Compère
- Mathematics
- 17 August 2007
Surface charges and their algebra in interacting Lagrangian gauge field theories are constructed out of the underlying linearized theory using techniques from the variational calculus. In the case of…
Setting the boundary free in AdS/CFT
- G. Compère, D. Marolf
- Physics
- 13 May 2008
We describe a new class of boundary conditions for AdSd+1 under which the boundary metric becomes a dynamical field. The key technical point is to show that contributions from boundary counter-terms…
The holographic fluid dual to vacuum Einstein gravity
- G. Compère, Paul McFadden, Kostas Skenderis, M. Taylor
- Physics, Mathematics
- 15 March 2011
We present an algorithm for systematically reconstructing a solution of the (d + 2)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations from a (d + 1)-dimensional fluid, extending the non-relativistic hydrodynamic…
Black holes in N=8 supergravity from SO(4,4) hidden symmetries
- D. D. Chow, G. Compère
- Physics
- 9 April 2014
We detail the construction of the most general asymptotically flat, stationary, rotating, nonextremal, dyonic black hole of the four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity coupled to 3 vector multiplets that…
Dyonic AdS black holes in maximal gauged supergravity
- D. D. Chow, G. Compère
- Physics
- 5 November 2013
We present two new classes of dyonic anti-de Sitter black hole solutions of four-dimensional maximal N=8, SO(8) gauged supergravity. They are (1) static black holes of N=2, U(1)4 gauged supergravity…
The Kerr/CFT correspondence and its extensions: a comprehensive review
- G. Compère
- Physics
- 15 March 2012
We present a first-principles derivation of the main results of the Kerr/CFT correspondence and its extensions using only tools from gravity and quantum field theory. Firstly, we review properties of…
