Hamilton–Jacobi counterterms for Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity
The on-shell gravitational action and the boundary stress tensor are essential ingredients in the study of black hole thermodynamics. We employ the Hamilton–Jacobi method to calculate the boundary counterterms necessary to remove the divergences and allow the study of the thermodynamics of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black holes.

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 کاملOne-loop counterterms in 2d dilaton-Maxwell quantum gravity
The renormalization structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity is investigated, in a covariant gauge. One-loop divergences of the effective action are calculated. All the surface divergent terms are taken into account, thus completing previous one-loop calculations of the theory. It is shown that the on-shell effective action contains only surface divergences. The off-shell renormalizability ...
متن کاملOne-Loop Vilkovisky-DeWitt Counterterms for 2D Gravity plus Scalar Field Theory
The divergent part of the one-loop off-shell effective action is computed for a single scalar field coupled to the Ricci curvature of 2D gravity (cφR), and self interacting by an arbitrary potential term V (φ). The Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action is used to compute gauge-fixing independent results. In our background field/covariant gauge we find that the Liouville theory is finite on shell. ...
متن کاملCounterterms, Holonomy and Supersymmetry
The divergence structure of supergravity has long been a topic of concern because of the theory's non-renormalizability. In the context of string theory, where per-turbative finiteness should be achieved, the supergravity counterterm structures remain nonetheless of importance because they still occur, albeit with finite coefficients. The leading nonvanishing supergravity counterterms have a pa...
