Description
n order to understand the structure of the Hilbert space of gravitational theories, we study one of its universal sectors: the “large gauge” modes, which live on (asymptotic) boundaries. For low-dimensional AdS gravity, we can move them away from the conformal boundary and find that the resulting theory is related to the $T \bar{T}$ deformation. I will discuss how this “beyond-Wilsonian” theory organizes itself, using its symmetries as a guide to examine how local it is and where it starts to differ from the classical expectation.
