In order to get a better understanding of holographic properties of gravitational theories with a vanishing cosmological constant, we analyze in detail the relation between asymptotically anti-de Sitter and asymptotically flat spacetimes in three dimensions. This relation is somewhat subtle because the limit of vanishing cosmological constant cannot be naively taken in standard Fefferman-Graham coordinates. After reformulating the standard anti-de Sitter results in Robinson-Trautman coordinates, a suitably modified Penrose limit is shown to connect both asymptotic regimes.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Generalized entanglement wedges rephrase the connected wedge theorem in bulk entropy terms, yielding mutual information bounds and a scattering-to-connected-wedge implication that extends to flat spacetimes.
