Conformal Renormalisation of 8D Einstein Gravity

Giorgos Anastasiou, Ignacio J. Araya, Nicolas Boulanger +2

We show that Holographic Renormalisation (HR) in eight dimensions is encoded in the unique conformal gravity theory that admits an Einstein sector with constant negative curvature.…

The addition of Kounterterms to Einstein gravity leads to a finite action for asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces with a conformally flat boundary. In that sense, it provide…
