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.
