Talks and Poster Presentations (without Proceedings-Entry):
D. Grumiller:
"3D quantum gravity?";
Talk: String and cosmology seminar,
Arnold Sommerfeld Center, Munich;
2008-10-20
- 2008-10-24.
English abstract:
ravity in three dimensions strikes a balance between models that
are
tractable and models that are relevant. It may exhibit black hole
solutions, graviton modes and asymptotically AdS solutions. A
consistent
quantization of AdS_3 gravity would be of great interest.
Recently, a chiral version of 3D topologically massive gravity was
constructed. Its CFT dual was conjectured to be purely right
moving. In
this talk we review this construction, and the sometimes heated
debate
regarding its properties.
