| Speaker: | Hamid Afshar (University of Groningen) |
| Abstract: | Using the Chern-Simons formulation of gravity in three dimensions we study the asymptotic analysis of 3D pure/conformal gravity with Minkowskian (flat) and AdS boundary conditions. |

| Bulk and boundary unitarity in 3D massive gravity |
| Speaker: | Wout Merbis (Groningen University) |
| Abstract: | In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, generally-covariant three dimensional massive gravity theories suffer from a clash between bulk and boundary unitarity. After explaining the origin of this clash, we
will extend the class of 3D massive gravity models to a theory with two dynamical dreibeins, or "Zwei-Dreibein Gravity". It unifies previous theories of massive gravity and extends them to allow for positive central charge consistent with bulk unitarity.
