abstract

In odd dimensions the integrated conformal anomaly is entirely due to the boundary terms \cite{Solodukhin:2015eca}. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of the anomaly in five dimensions. We give the complete list of the boundary conformal invariants that exist in five dimensions. Additionally to 8 invariants known before we find a new conformal invariant that contains the derivatives of the extrinsic curvature along the boundary. Then, for a conformal scalar field satisfying either the Dirichlet or the conformal invariant Robin boundary conditions we use the available general results for the heat kernel coefficient $a_5$, compute the conformal anomaly and identify the corresponding values of all boundary conformal charges.

    A probe-D5 holographic calculation gives analytic defect/interface entanglement entropy for massive D3/D5 intersections and shows the entropic C-function is monotonic but not always a finite degree-of-freedom count.
