Higher dimensional formulation of counterterms
Marika Taylor-Robinson
It is by now well established that divergences of the on-shell action for asymptotically AdS solutions can be cancelled by adding covariant local boundary counterterms to the actio…
Anomalies, counterterms and the Polchinski-Strassler solutions
Marika Taylor-Robinson
The singularity structure of many IIB supergravity solutions asymptotic to becomes clearer when one considers the full ten dimensional solution rather than the d…
More on counterterms in the gravitational action and anomalies
Marika Taylor-Robinson
The addition of boundary counterterms to the gravitational action of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes permits us to define the partition function unambiguously without back…
Holography for degenerate boundaries
Marika Taylor-Robinson
We discuss the AdS/CFT correspondence for negative curvature Einstein manifolds whose conformal boundary is degenerate in the sense that it is of codimension greater than one. In s…
Higher dimensional Taub-Bolt solutions and the entropy of non compact manifolds
Marika Taylor-Robinson
We discuss the action of a circle isometry group on non compact Euclidean Einstein manifolds. We discuss approaches to a decomposition of the action and entropy for non compact man…
Instanton symmetries and the entropy of compact manifolds
Marika Taylor-Robinson
Many Euclidean Einstein manifolds possess continuous symmetry groups of at least one parameter and we consider here a classification scheme of dimensional compact manifolds bas…
