Palatini Gauss-Bonnet theory
Maximo Banados, Marc Henneaux
We consider a class of models in even spacetime dimensions which share many similarities with Chern-Simons theories in odd spacetime dimensions . The independent dynamic…

AdS amplitudes as CFT correlators
Maximo Bañados, Ernesto Bianchi, Ivan Muñoz +1
We show that AdS amplitudes are CFT correlators to all orders in the loop expansion by showing that they obey the conformal Ward identities. In particular, we provide explicit form…

Three-dimensional massive gravity and the bigravity black hole
M. Banados, S. Theisen
We study three-dimensional massive gravity formulated as a theory with two dynamical metrics, like the f-g theories of Isham-Salam and Strathdee. The action is parity preserving an…
