Description

The AdS/RF correspondence connects classes of Ricci-flat spacetimes to asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, and thus endows these vacuum gravity solutions with a generalized conformal symmetry and a holographic structure, both inherited from AdS. The precise map requires however the dimensional reduction over a round sphere, and is therefore unsuitable to gain insights into asymptotically flat spacetimes, such as the Schwarzschild black hole. In this talk, I will explore the possibility of circumventing this limitation and to extend the correspondence to more general classes of spacetimes.
