Abstract
We provide a gravity counterpart of the theorem by Hofman and Strominger that in (1+1) dimension, chiral scale invariance indicates chiral conformal invariance. We show that the strict null energy condition gives a sufficient condition to guarantee the symmetry enhancement. We also investigate a possibility to construct holographic c-function that decreases along the holographic renormalization group flow.

The author would like to thank the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics for their hospitality where the initial stage of the work was done. He, in particular, would like to thank Cindy Keeler for stimulating discussions there. He also thanks fruitful discussions with D. Honda and M. Nakamura, who independently studied the same problem and concluded that the geometry must be warped AdS3 [36].
