Generalized Massive Gravity and Galilean Conformal Algebra in two dimensions

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) in two dimensions arises as contraction of two copies of the centrally extended Virasoro algebra (t→t,x→εxt\rightarrow t, x\rightarrowεx with ε→0ε\rightarrow 0). The central charges of GCA can be expressed in term of Virasoro central charges. For finite and non-zero GCA central charges, the Virasoro central charges must behave as asymmetric form O(1)±O(1ε)O(1)\pm O(\frac{1}ε). We propose that, the bulk description for 2d GCA with asymmetric central charges is given by general massive gravity (GMG) in three dimensions. It can be seen that, if the gravitational Chern-Simons coupling 1μ\frac{1}μ behaves as of order O(1ε\frac{1}ε) or (μ→εμμ\rightarrowεμ), the central charges of GMG have the above εε dependence. So, in non-relativistic scaling limit μ→εμμ\rightarrowεμ, we calculated GCA parameters and finite entropy in term of gravity parameters mass and angular momentum of GMG.
