Abstract

In this thesis, we consider general relativity on a manifold with a timelike boundary of finite size, across all signs of the cosmological constant Λ. We impose conformal boundary conditions, whereby the conformal class of the induced metric and the trace of the extrinsic curvature K are fixed at the boundary. In Lorentzian signature, we analyse the linearised Einstein equations about Minkowski, de Sitter (dS), and anti-de Sitter (AdS) space for a variety of boundaries, employing the Kodama-Ishibashi formalism adapted to manifolds with a boundary. In Euclidean signature, we study the thermodynamics of black hole and cosmological horizons enclosed by the boundary, computing the leading semiclassical approximation of the gravitational path integral, for which the boundary data define a conformal canonical ensemble of fixed conformal temperature and K.
