A Maxwellian extension of flat Liouville theory is derived as the boundary dual of Maxwell-invariant 2+1 Chern-Simons gravity, and is shown to match a geometric action and a Carrollian expansion of the AdS3 dual.

abstract
In this work we present a BMS-like ansatz for a Chern-Simons theory based on the semi-simple enlargement of the Poincar\'e symmetry, also known as AdS-Lorentz algebra. We start by showing that this ansatz is general enough to contain all the relevant stationary solutions of this theory and provides with suitable boundary conditions for the corresponding gauge connection. We find an explicit realization of the asymptotic symmetry at null infinity, which defines a semi-simple enlargement of the $\mathfrak{bms}_3$ algebra and turns out to be isomorphic to three copies of the Virasoro algebra. The flat limit of the theory is discussed at the level of the action, field equations, solutions and asymptotic symmetry.

Boundary dynamics of Maxwell-invariant three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity
A Maxwellian extension of flat Liouville theory is derived as the boundary dual of Maxwell-invariant 2+1 Chern-Simons gravity, and is shown to match a geometric action and a Carrollian expansion of the AdS3 dual.
