abstract
Recent work has studied the thermodynamics of gravity subjected to conformal boundary conditions, where the trace of the extrinsic curvature $K$ and the conformal class of metrics are kept fixed. The case $K < 0$ seems tied to solutions with cosmic horizons. To study this situation further, we analyze Einstein-Maxwell theory, where we find solutions with cosmic horizons corresponding to patches inside the inner horizon of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole. We find that these solutions are $\it{necessary}$ for consistency with the thermal effective action in the putative boundary dual at $O(1)$ chemical potential. Furthermore, we introduce a (positive or negative) cosmological constant and find more cases where solutions with cosmic horizons dominate the ensemble. Transitions between solutions with cosmic horizons and solutions with black hole horizons are mediated by "extremal" solutions that correspond to patches of (A)dS$_2 \times \Sigma^{d-1}$, for which we discuss an effective JT gravity description with dimensionally reduced conformal boundary conditions. Finally, we introduce rotation in some simple cases and find that the bulk theory reproduces the universal velocity-dependent modification of the free energy predicted by the thermal effective action.

Ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions
Linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions is ill-posed: a sequence of smooth perturbations with vanishing initial data grows without bound at every positive time.

Holographic entanglement entropy with conformal boundary conditions
In AdS3 with conformal boundary conditions, holographic entanglement entropy is still the minimal-surface area over 4G_N, and the dual Liouville plus T Tbar theory gives entropy governed by the effective central charge c_eff.

A Brief Note on Complex AdS-Schwarzschild Black Holes
Complex AdS-Schwarzschild saddles that naively dominate low-temperature holographic partition functions are argued, in a mini-superspace model, not to contribute, preserving thermal AdS as the correct saddle.
