We consider asymtotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes in general dimensions. We review the origin of infrared divergences in the on-shell gravitational action, and the construction of the renormalized on-shell action by the addition of boundary counterterms. In odd dimensions, the renormalized on-shell action is not invariant under bulk diffeomorphisms that yield conformal transformations in the boundary (holographic Weyl anomaly). We obtain formulae for the gravitational stress energy tensor, defined as the metric variation of the renormalized on-shell action, in terms of coefficients in the asymptotic expansion of the metric near infinity. The stress energy tensor transforms anomalously under bulk diffeomorphisms broken by infrared divergences.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Numerical evidence that every squashed three-sphere conformal infinity admits a unique horizonless static vacuum fill-in and a one-parameter family of black-hole fill-ins in 5D AdS.

  5. Timelike Entanglement First Law and Linearized Field Equations in Higher Curvature Gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike entanglement first law holds in Lovelock gravity about AdS, with both entropy and modular Hamiltonian variations carrying the same coupling factor that renormalizes Newton's constant in the linearized equations.

  6. Entanglement first law for timelike entanglement entropy and linearized Einstein's equation

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For timelike boundary regions, the entanglement first law ΔS = Δ⟨H⟩ is equivalent, by the paper's proof, to the linearized Einstein equations around AdS.
