TL;DR
The paper demonstrates that traveling wave solutions on AdS backgrounds exhibit a Virasoro symmetry with a non-zero central charge across any dimension, extending the Brown-Henneaux symmetry to higher dimensions.
Contribution
It generalizes the Brown-Henneaux Virasoro symmetry to higher-dimensional AdS spaces with traveling wave solutions.
Findings
Virasoro symmetry with non-zero central charge in AdS solutions
Extension of Brown-Henneaux symmetry to higher dimensions
Traveling waves on AdS exhibit conformal symmetry
Abstract
We consider travelling waves propagating on the anti-de Sitter (AdS) background. It is pointed out that for any dimension d, this space of solutions has a Virasoro symmetry with a non-zero central charge. This result is a natural generalization to higher dimensions of the three-dimensional Brown-Henneaux symmetry.
