English abstract:
The simplest toy models for classical and quantum gravity that can have black hole solutions are two-dimensional. Yet, two-dimensional Einstein gravity is not among them: in two dimensions the Einstein tensor vanishes identically and the Einstein-Hilbert action is a boundary term. Two-dimensional dilaton gravity provides a consistent theory of gravity in two dimensions. Among other applications, it presents an interesting testing ground for the conjectured duality between gravity theories in Anti-de Sitter spacetimes and gauge theories on the boundary. In this talk, I will introduce two-dimensional dilaton gravity and report on the study of holographic models in this set-up.
