Holography with Gravitational Chern-Simons

چکیده
The holographic description in the presence of gravitational Chern-Simons term is studied. The modified gravitational equations are integrated by using the FeffermanGraham expansion and the holographic stress-energy tensor is identified. The stressenergy tensor has both conformal anomaly and gravitational or, if re-formulated in terms of the zweibein, Lorentz anomaly. We comment on the structure of anomalies in two dimensions and show that the two-dimensional stress-energy tensor can be reproduced by integrating the conformal and gravitational anomalies. We study the black hole entropy in theories with gravitational Chern-Simons and find that the usual Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is modified. For the BTZ black hole the modification is determined by area of the inner horizon. We show that the total entropy of BTZ black hole is precisely reproduced in a boundary CFT calculation using the Cardy formula. 1 [email protected]

متن کاملHolographic Description of Gravitational Anomalies
The holographic duality can be extended to include quantum theories with broken coordinate invariance leading to the appearance of the gravitational anomalies. On the gravity side one adds the gravitational Chern-Simons term to the bulk action which gauge invariance is only up to the boundary terms. We analyze in detail how the gravitational anomalies originate from the modified Einstein equati...
متن کاملHolographic Gravitational Anomalies
In the AdS/CFT correspondence one encounters theories that are not invariant under diffeomorphisms. In the boundary theory this is a gravitational anomaly, and can arise in 4k + 2 dimensions. In the bulk, there can be gravitational Chern-Simons terms which vary by a total derivative. We work out the holographic stress tensor for such theories, and demonstrate agreement between the bulk and boun...
متن کاملGauge symmetries and holographic anomalies of Chern-Simons and transgression AdS gravity
We review the issue of gauge and gravitational anomalies with backgrounds, offering a new outlook on some aspects of these questions. We compute the holographic anomalies of hypothetical theories dual, in the sense of the AdS-CFT correspondence, to Chern-Simons AdS gravity. Those anomalies are either gauge anomalies, associated to the AdS gauge group of the theory, or diffeomorphism anomalies, ...
متن کاملBrane Resolution and Gravitational Chern-Simons terms
We show that gravitational Chern-Simons corrections, associated with the sigma-model anomaly on the M5-brane world-volume, can resolve the M2-brane solution with Ricci-flat, special holonomy transverse space. We explicitly find smooth solutions in the cases when the transverse space is a manifold of Spin(7) holonomy and SU(4) holonomy. We comment on the consequences of these results for the hol...
