Abstract
We construct a one-dimensional dual theory that effectively describes the sector of the (2+1)D flat gravity phase space near a Flat Space Cosmology (FSC) saddle labeled by definite mass and angular momentum. This Schwarzian type action describes the dynamics of the (Pseudo-) Goldstone Bosons of BMS algebra on a circle as the symmetry is spontaneously and anomalously broken. This 1D theory, living on the celestial circle, provides an explicit construction of a celestial dual in (2+1)D. We use it to calculate the semiclassical entropy of Flat Space Cosmologies and find perfect agreement with existing literature.
