Abstract
It is argued that the role of infinite dimensional asymptotic symmetry groups in gravity theories are essential for a holographic description of gravity and possibly to a resolution of the black hole information paradox. I present a simple toy model in two dimensional hyperbolic/ anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and describe, by very elementary considerations, how the asymptotic symmetry group is responsible for the entropy area law. Similar results apply also in three dimensional AdS space. The failure of the approach in higher dimensional AdS spaces is explained and resolved by considering other asymptotically noncompact homogeneous spaces.
