Abstract We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection. We define a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions and find the boundary stress tensor in the Chern-Simons formalism. Using this variational principle as the departure point, we show how to treat other choices of boundary conditions in this formalism, such as, including the mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation.

This is a survey on recent developments concerning a thermodynamic formalism for almost additive sequences of functions. While the nonadditive thermodynamic formalism applies to much more general sequences, at the present stage of the theory there are no general results concerning, for example, a variational principle for the topological pressure or the existence of equilibrium or Gibbs measures (at least without further restrictive assumptions). On the other hand, in the case of almost additive sequences, it is possible to establish a variational principle and to discuss the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium and Gibbs measures, among several other results. After presenting in a self-contained manner the foundations of the theory, the survey includes the description of three applications of the almost additive thermodynamic formalism: a multifractal analysis of Lyapunov exponents for a class of nonconformal repellers; a conditional variational principle for limits of almost additive sequences; and the study of dimension spectra that consider simultaneously limits into the future and into the past.
