HOLOGRAPHY AND WEYL ANOMALY IN AdS3 GRAVITY WITH TORSION
 
 

We present basic features of the AdS/CFT correspondence starting from 3D gravity in Riemann-Cartan space. We chose a most general parity-preserving quadratic action in the framework of Poincare gauge theory. In particular, we calculate the counterterms, finite 1-point functions, Ward identities and Weyl anomaly in a holographic CFT.
