ITMP Seminar "Conformal Renormalization of anti-de Sitter gravity"

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the next ITMP seminar will be held on Wednesday, Dec 13, 18:00 (Moscow time). It will be held at ITMP (room Г-725) with the possibility to join via Zoom.

Speaker: Prof. Rodrigo Olea, Universidad Andres Bello

Title: Conformal Renormalization of anti-de Sitter gravity

Abstract: Boundary counterterms are required to cancel the divergences in the bulk action of asymptotically AdS gravity. These boundary terms are prescribed by a systematic procedure known as Holographic Renormalization, developed in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. In this seminar, we show that, in four and six bulk dimensions, these counterterms can also be obtained from a proper embedding of Einstein in Conformal gravity (Conformal Renormalization).

If you want to join the seminar please register here before 16:00, December 13 here.
