We are happy to announce that our HolographyCL member Rodrigo Olea will give a talk at the Instituto de Fisica Teorica IFT, titled “Conformal Renormalization of AdS gravity”. Here we leave the abstract and the link to the official page of the IFT.
Abstract:
We present evidence that the renormalization of Einstein-AdS gravity can be derived from conformal structures in the bulk. In point of fact, by applying a holographic mechanism which reduces Conformal Gravity to its Einstein sector in 4 and 6 dimensions, the Einstein-AdS action is naturally endowed with the correct counterterms. We explore the consequences of this result in the derivation of codimension-2 functionals (e.g., Willmore energy), of interest in the context of Holographic Entanglement Entropy.
