We extend Maldacena's argument, namely, obtaining Einstein gravity from Conformal Gravity, to six dimensional manifolds. The proof relies on a particular combination of conformal (and topological) invariants, which makes manifest the fact that 6D Conformal Gravity admits an Einstein sector. Then, by taking generalized Neumann boundary conditions, the Conformal Gravity action reduces to the renormalized Einstein-AdS action. These restrictions are implied by the vanishing of the traceless Ricci tensor, which is the defining property of any Einstein spacetime. The equivalence between Conformal and Einstein gravity renders trivial the Einstein solutions of 6D Critical Gravity at the bicritical point.

  1. Conformal Renormalisation of 8D Einstein Gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Holographic renormalisation of 8D Einstein-AdS gravity is recovered as the Einstein sector of the unique conformal gravity admitting constant-negative-curvature Einstein solutions, with matching counterterms.

  2. Conformal and pure scale-invariant gravities in d dimensions

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For d>4, pure R^{d/2} gravity has no modes on flat space, and five-dimensional conformal gravity propagates three scalar, three vector, and two tensor modes, one of which is a ghost.

  3. Renormalized pseudoentropy in dS/CFT

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Renormalized holographic pseudoentropy in dS/CFT is constructed from conformal-gravity actions in four and six dimensions, yielding finite sphere values and Mezei-like shape dependence for small deformations.
