A Chiral ${\Lambda}$-$\mathfrak{bms}_4$ Symmetry of AdS$_4$ Gravity
Abstract
Generalising the chiral boundary conditions of gravity for AdS gravity, we derive chiral locally AdS solutions in the Newman-Unti gauge consistent with a variational principle whose asymptotic symmetry algebra we show, to be an infinite-dimensional chiral extension of . This symmetry algebra coincides with the chiral algebra in the flat space limit. We posit this symmetry algebra as the chiral version of recently discovered - algebra. We postulate line integral charges from the bulk AdS gravity corresponding to this chiral symmetry algebra and show that the charges obey the semi-classical limit of a -algebra that includes a level Kac-Moody current algebra. Furthermore, using the standard tools of CFT, we derive the quantum version of this -algebra which may be denoted by .
