Geometric Actions for Lower-Spin Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-08-26 v1

Abstract

We perform the Hamiltonian reduction of Lower Spin Gravity, the simplest bulk dual for a Warped Conformal Field Theory (WCFT), consisting in an SL(2)×U(1)SL(2) \times U(1) Chern-Simons model. We identify the boundary action as the geometric action on coadjoint orbits of the Warped Virasoro group. We use this reduced action to compute one-loop contributions to the torus partition function and compare them to the Warped Virasoro characters.
