It is shown that the AdS_3 gravity action with boundary terms is non invariant under diffeomorphisms and that its Lie derivative has the form of the Weyl anomaly in two dimensions. This variation is compensated by a Weyl transformation of the boundary metric when the radial derivative of the metric on the boundary is expressed in terms of the stress tensor of a Liouville field. The obtained invariance of the action under the combined transformation of a diffeomorphism and a Weyl transformation allows to interpret the computed Lie derivative as minus the Weyl anomaly of the two-dimensional effective action.

  1. 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.
