Event Details

I relate the recent derivation of the linearised Einstein equation on an AdS background from holographic entanglement entropy arguments to the Sparling construction: I derive the differential form whose exterior derivative gives the Einstein equation from the Sparling formalism. I develop the study of perturbations within the context of the Sparling formalism and find that the Sparling form vanishes for linearised perturbations on flat space.
