abstract
Using the method of images we derive the boundary term of the Einstein-$\Gamma^2$ action in half-space from the spherical worldsheet to first order in $\alpha'$ and to linear order in the metric perturbation around flat half-space. The $\Gamma^2$ action, written down by Einstein more than 100 years ago, includes a boundary term that consists of the Gibbons-Hawking-York action along with two additional terms that are functions of the metric, normal vector, and tangential derivatives. With this boundary term, the total (bulk + boundary) sphere effective action has a well-posed variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Boundary terms in string field theory
The free closed string field theory action is supplemented with a boundary term, derived from the failure of BRST cyclicity, that reproduces the Gibbons-Hawking-York term at low energies.

The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography
The Euclidean on-shell action for linear-dilaton three-dimensional string backgrounds yields a spacetime mass whose square-root form matches the TT-deformed CFT energy formula.

Quantum stress-energy at timelike boundaries: testing a new beyond-$\Lambda$CDM parameter with cosmological data
Timelike boundaries sourcing negative, 1/a-scaling vacuum energy fit CMB+BAO data slightly better than LCDM and relax the neutrino-mass constraint, though the preference is only about 2 sigma.

Gravitational Observatories in AdS$_4$
With conformal boundary conditions in AdS4, linearized gravity has a new boundary Weyl mode; for a spherical boundary the mode has complex frequencies (exponential growth) at large angular momentum, while for a planar...
