Abstract

In this chapter we explore a physical model where the Virasoro group plays a key role, namely three-dimensional gravity on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds and its putative dual two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT). These considerations will be a basis and a guide for our study of asymptotically flat space-times in part III.
