We investigate the asymptotic dynamics of topological anti-de Sitter supergravity in two dimensions. Starting from the formulation as a BF theory, it is shown that the AdS_2 boundary conditions imply that the asymptotic symmetries form a…

We show that the anti-de Sitter(AdS) space naturally emerges from the conformal field theory(CFT). The behavior of the leading divergent term in the entanglement entropy implies the underlying AdS geometry. The coefficient of the leading…
