Event Details

Massless higher-order gravities are Einstein gravity extended with appropriate higher-order curvature invariants such that the linearized spectrum in their AdS vacua contain only the massless graviton. By studying their holographic properties we are able to obtain a few universal relations in the dual CFTs that are independent of the specific details of the theories. These include the relations between the overall coefficient of the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor and the conformal central charges.
