Holographic Description of AdS_2 Black Holes
Alejandra Castro, Daniel Grumiller, Finn Larsen +1
We develop the holographic renormalization of AdS_2 gravity systematically. We find that a bulk Maxwell term necessitates a boundary mass term for the gauge field and verify that t…
On the Stress Tensor for Asymptotically Flat Gravity
Robert B. Mann, Donald Marolf, Robert McNees +1
The recent introduction of a boundary stress tensor for asymptotically flat spacetimes enabled a new construction of energy, momentum, and Lorentz charges. These charges are known…
A New Boundary Counterterm for Asymptotically AdS Spacetimes
Robert McNees
We present a modified version of the boundary counterterm method for removing divergences from the action of an asymptotically spacetime. The standard approach renders the ac…
Boundary Counterterms and the Thermodynamics of 2-D Black Holes
Joshua L. Davis, Robert McNees
We utilize a novel method to study the thermodynamics of two dimensional type 0A black holes with constant RR flux. Our approach is based on the Hamilton-Jacobi method of deriving…
Holography, Diffeomorphisms, and Scaling Violations in the CMB
Finn Larsen, Robert McNees
We analyze diffeomorphism invariance in inflationary spacetimes regulated by a boundary at late time. We present the action for quadratic fluctuations in the presence of a boundary…
