Abstract
A careful reduction of the three-dimensional gravity to the Liouville description is performed, where all gauge fixing and on-shell conditions come from the definition of asymptotic de Sitter spaces. The roles of both past and future infinities are discussed and the conditions space-time evolution imposes on both Liouville fields are explicited. Space-times which correspond to non-equivalent profiles of the Liouville field at past and future infinities are shown to exist. The qualitative implications of this for any tentative dual theory are presented.
