AdS2 has an SL(2,R) isometry group. It is argued that in the context of quantum gravity on AdS2 this group is enlarged to the full infinite-dimensional 1+1 conformal group. Massive scalar fields are coupled to AdS2 gravity and shown to have associated conformal weights h(m) shifted by their mass. For integral values of h primary boundary operators are obtained as h normal derivatives of the scalar field. AdS2 string theories arise in the `very-near-horizon' limit of S1-compactified AdS3 string theories. This limit corresponds to energies far below the compactification scale. The dual conformal field theory has one null dimension and can in certain cases be described as the discrete light cone quantization of a two-dimensional deformed symmetric-product conformal field theory. Evidence is given that the AdS2 Virasoro algebra is related to the right-moving AdS3 Virasoro algebra by a topological twist which shifts the central charge to zero.

  1. Projecting Gravitational Fluctuations onto Near-Horizon Throats

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A pair of coordinate changes projects Heun-type gravitational fluctuation equations onto two matched hypergeometric problems, reproducing instanton-counting results and yielding Schwarzian zero modes.

  2. Superconformal mechanics from N-extended Euler-Calogero-Moser and Calogero models

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Two-particle N-extended Euler-Calogero-Moser models produce SU(1,1|N) superconformal mechanics after center-of-mass decoupling; the Calogero case yields only Osp(N|2).

  3. Classical Unattainability of Extremality in non-BPS D-brane Systems

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a non-BPS four-charge D-brane system in N=8 string theory, the worldline potential has no classical zero-energy minimum, so extremality is unattainable; entropy is proposed as the logarithm of the number of isolat...

  4. Optical Characteristics of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the magnetic field mainly enlarges the shadow and Einstein ring while rotation mainly distorts the shadow shape, and current M87* and Sgr A* data give only weak bounds on the field.
