Abstract: (FIZ Karlsruhe)
We test the effects of new diffeomorphism invariant boundary terms in SL(2,R)×SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory. The gravitational interpretation corresponds to free AdS3 boundary conditions, without restrictions on the boundary geometry. The boundary theory is the theory of a string in a target AdS3. Its Virasoro conditions can eliminate ghosts. Generalisations to SL(N,R)×SL(N,R) higher spin theories and many other questions are still unexplored.
