ar X iv : h ep - t h / 99 05 04 6 v 1 6 M ay 1 99 9 Counterterms for the Dirichlet Prescription of the AdS / CFT Correspondence
We illustrate the Dirichlet prescription of the AdS/CFT correspondence using the example of a massive scalar field and argue that it is the only entirely consistent regularization procedure known so far. Using the Dirichlet prescription, we then calculate the divergent terms for gravity in the cases d = 2, 4, 6, which give rise to the Weyl anomaly in the boundary conformal field theory. E-mail:...

متن کاملHolographic counterterms from local supersymmetry without boundary conditions
We show in some lower-dimensional supergravity models that the holographic counterterms which are needed in the AdS/CFT correspondence to make the theory finite, coincide with the counterterms that are needed to make the action supersymmetric without imposing any boundary conditions on the fields.
متن کاملCounterterms and dual holographic anomalies in CS gravity
The holographic Weyl anomaly associated to Chern-Simons gravity in 2n + 1 dimensions is proportional to the Euler term in 2n dimensions, with no contributions from the Weyl tensor. We compute the holographic energy-momentum tensor associated to ChernSimons gravity directly from the action, in an arbitrary odd-dimensional spacetime. We show, in particular, that the counterterms rendering the act...
متن کاملیادداشتی بر دوگانی AdS/CFT
We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...
