Description

The AdS/Ricci-flat correspondence connects families of asymptotically AdS spacetimes to Ricci-flat spacetimes, and can be used to transfer tools and results between them. In its original formulation, this map requires a high degree of symmetry, limiting its possible applications. I will show how to extend the correspondence to a larger class of spacetimes, that includes for example general perturbations of Minkowski spacetime and of the Schwarzschild black hole.
