$p$-Form Surface Charges on AdS: Renormalization and Conservation

Abstract

Surface charges of a $p$-form theory on the boundary of an AdS${}_{d+1}$ spacetime are computed. Counter-terms on the boundary produce divergent corner-terms which holographically renormalize the symplectic form. Different choices of boundary conditions lead to various expressions for the charges and the associated fluxes. With the usual standard AdS boundary conditions, there are conserved zero-mode charges. Moreover, we explore two leaky boundary conditions which admit an infinite number of charges forming an Abelian algebra and non-vanishing flux. Finally, we discuss magnetic $p$-form charges and electric/magnetic duality.
