Abstract: As was recently pointed out by Cadoni, a certain class of two-dimensional gravitational theories will exhibit a (black hole) thermodynamic behavior that is reminiscent of a free field theory. In the current Rapid Communication, a direct correspondence is established between these two-dimensional models and the strongly curved regime of (arbitrary-dimensional) anti--de Sitter gravity. On this basis, we go on to speculatively argue that two-dimensional gravity may ultimately be utilized for identifying and perhaps even understanding holographic dualities.
