We discuss an enhancement of the Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions in three-dimensional AdS General Relativity to encompass Weyl transformations of the boundary metric. The resulting asymptotic symmetry algebra, after a field-dependent redefinition of the generators, is a direct sum of two copies of the Witt algebra and the Weyl abelian sector. The charges associated to Weyl transformations are non-vanishing, integrable but not conserved due to a flux driven by the Weyl anomaly coefficient. The charge algebra admits an additional non-trivial central extension in the Weyl sector, related to the well-known Weyl anomaly. We then construct the holographic Weyl current and show that it satisfies an anomalous Ward-Takahashi identity of the boundary theory.

  1. Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes are brought into a generalized Bondi gauge with finite radial expansion, producing new flux-balance laws, Carroll-boost symmetries, and finite supertranslated Kerr–Taub–NUT metrics.

  2. Field-dependent diffeomorphisms and the transformation of surface charges between gauges

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Weyl charge in (A)dS3 gravity is kinematical: it can be toggled on or off by a field-dependent diffeomorphism between Bondi-Sachs and Fefferman-Graham gauges.
