Description: Title: New aspects of nAdS2/nCFT1 correspondenceAbstract: The linchpin of nAdS2/nCFT1 is the non-linear realization ofsymmetries, where the conformal symmetry of AdS2 is spontaneously brokenand also broken by an anomaly. In this talk I'll discuss 3 new cornersof this correspondence that are relevant for the holographic descriptionof near-extremal black holes. The first corner is related to rotatingblack holes; the second corner relates to role of gravitationalanomalies in nAdS2 holography; and finally, how the logarithmiccorrections to black hole entropy reveal interesting features.
