N2 - In the gravitational context, Liouville theory is the two-dimensional conformal field theory that controls the boundary dynamics of asymptotically AdS3 spacetimes at the classical level. By taking a suitable limit of the coupling constants of the Hamiltonian formulation of Liouville, we construct and analyze a BMS3 invariant two-dimensional field theory that is likely to control the boundary dynamics at null infinity of threedimensional asymptotically flat gravity.
