Understand

In (2+1) space-time dimensions the Einstein theory of gravity has no local degrees of freedom.

In fact, in the presence of a negative cosmological term, it is described by a (1+1) dimensional theory living on its boundary: Liouville theory.
It is invariant under the action of the two-dimensional conformal group, which, in the gravitational context, corresponds to the asymptotic symmetries of asymptotically AdS geometries.
In the flat case, when the cosmological term is turned off, a theory describing gravity at the boundary is absent.
