Boundary terms of conformal anomaly
Sergey N. Solodukhin
We analyze the structure of the boundary terms in the conformal anomaly integrated over a manifold with boundaries. We suggest that the anomalies of type B, polynomial in the Weyl…
Metric Redefinition and UV Divergences in Quantum Einstein Gravity
Sergey N. Solodukhin
I formulate several statements demonstrating that the local metric redefinition can be used to reduce the UV divergences present in the quantum action for the Einstein gravity in $…
Comparison theorems for causal diamonds
Clement Berthiere, Gary Gibbons, Sergey N. Solodukhin
We formulate certain inequalities for the geometric quantities characterizing causal diamonds in curved and Minkowski spacetimes. These inequalities involve the red-shift factor wh…
The Wald entropy and 6d conformal anomaly
Amin Faraji Astaneh, Sergey N. Solodukhin
We analyze the Wald entropy for different forms of the conformal anomaly in six dimensions. In particular we focus on the anomaly which arises in a holographic calculation of Henni…
Newton constant, contact terms and entropy
Sergey N. Solodukhin
We discuss the renormalization of the Newton constant due to fields of various spin . We first briefly review the cases of already discussed in the li…
