The Kaluza-Klein spectrum of N=2, D=4 supergravity compactified on AdS_2 x S^2 is found and shown to consist of two infinite towers of SU(1,1|2) representations. In addition to `pure gauge' modes living on the boundary of AdS which are familiar from higher dimensional cases, in two dimensions there are modes (e.g. massive gravitons) which enjoy no gauge symmetry yet nevertheless have no on-shell degrees of freedom in the bulk. We discuss these two-dimensional subtleties in detail.

  1. From BTZ Perturbations to Schwarzian Modes: A Geometrical and Perturbative Analysis

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Schwarzian modes emerge from the general solution of BTZ perturbations at finite temperature with no rotational modes present, and are equivalently obtained via a Kerr-Schild construction that connects to the double copy.
