We obtain an Einstein metric of constant negative curvature given an arbitrary boundary metric in three dimensions, and a conformally flat one given an arbitrary conformally flat boundary metric in other dimensions. In order to compute the on-shell value of the gravitational action for these solutions, we propose to integrate the radial coordinate from the boundary till a critical value where the bulk volume element vanishes. The result, which is a functional of the boundary metric, provides a sector of the quantum effective action common to all conformal field theories that have a gravitational description. We verify that the so-defined boundary effective action is conformally invariant in odd (boundary) dimensions and has the correct conformal anomaly in even (boundary) dimensions. In three dimensions and for arbitrary static boundary metric the bulk metric takes a rather simple form. We explicitly carry out the computation of the corresponding effective action and find that it equals the non-local Polyakov action.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic RG flow on a 2D CFT induces JT gravity with bulk lapse as dilaton and recovers TTbar deformation in the Fefferman-Graham limit.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In TTbar-deformed anomalous CFT2 the chaos bound stays saturated while butterfly velocity depends nontrivially on deformation strength and anomaly, with a Hagedorn regime where the chaotic response turns complex.

  5. GR from RG: Gravity Is Induced From Renormalization Group Flow In The Infrared

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic RG flow induces gravity by evolving boundary conditions from rigid Dirichlet to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann, generating an Einstein-Hilbert term and evading the Weinberg-Witten theorem.

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Establishes a holographic link between bulk gravitational radiation and dissipative corrections plus entropy production in boundary fluids, then constructs Carrollian analogues and celestial observables in the flat limit.

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For T\bar{T}-deformed BTZ black holes, the butterfly velocity is v_B = sqrt(1 - 8π² μ/β²), exceeding the Mezei-Stanford bound for μ<0 while the Lyapunov exponent stays at the maximal value 2π/β.

    hep-th 2025-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit bulk derivations yield two- and three-point stress tensor correlators in AdS3/BCFT2 and scalar and stress tensor correlators for XCFT2 on RP2, with tension independence and finite-cutoff deformations.

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    Mass in asymptotically locally hyperbolic 2+1 gravity is a minimised functional, not a single conserved number, and gluing theorems can construct initial data realising every mass aspect function.
