Obstruction tensors in Weyl geometry and holographic Weyl anomaly

چکیده
Recently a generalization of the Fefferman-Graham gauge for asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes, called Weyl-Fefferman-Graham (WFG) gauge, has been proposed. It was shown that WFG induces Weyl geometry on conformal boundary. The consists metric and connection. Thus, this is useful setting studying dual field theories with background symmetry. Working in formalism, we find obstruction tensors, which are Weyl-covariant tensors appear as poles expansion bulk even boundary dimensions. We see these Weyl-obstruction can be used building blocks anomaly theory. then compute $6d$ $8d$ contribution from structure appears cohomologically trivial modifications. Expressed terms Weyl-Schouten tensor extended results holographic up to also reveal hints its expression any dimension.

The holographic Weyl anomaly
We calculate the Weyl anomaly for conformal field theories that can be described via the adS/CFT correspondence. This entails regularizing the gravitational part of the corresponding supergravity action in a manner consistent with general covariance. Up to a constant, the anomaly only depends on the dimension d of the manifold on which the conformal field theory is defined. We present concrete ...
متن کاملComment on Ambiguities in the Holographic Weyl Anomaly
We consider possible ambiguities in the holographic Weyl anomaly that are caused by local terms in the flow equation. We point out that such ambiguities actually do not give physically meaningful contributions to the Weyl anomaly. ∗e-mail: [email protected] †e-mail: [email protected]

متن کاملIsotropic cosmologies in Weyl geometry
We study homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies in a Weyl spacetime. We show that for homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes, the field equations can be reduced to the Einstein equations with a twofluid source. We write the equations as a two-dimensional dynamical system and analyze the qualitative, asymptotic behavior of the models. We examine the possibility that in certain theories the Weyl 1-f...
