We survey on-shell and off-shell higher derivative supergravities in dimensions 1≤ D≤ 11.
Various approaches to their construction, including the Noether procedure,(harmonic) …

This review highlights some of the lessons that the holographic gauge/gravity duality has
taught us regarding the behavior of the shear viscosity to entropy density in strongly coupled …

We provide a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy for spherical entangling
surfaces. Our construction relies on conformally mapping the boundary CFT to a hyperbolic …

We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the
context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity …

A bstract We discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals.
A central feature of these theories is the existence of a low-lying sector of operators whose …

We study the properties of the holographic CFT dual to Gauss-Bonnet gravity in general D
(≥ 5) dimensions. We establish the AdS/CFT dictionary and in particular relate the …

We examine holographic entanglement entropy with higher curvature gravity in the bulk. We
show that in general Wald's formula for horizon entropy does not yield the correct …

A bstract We extend the approach of [12] to a new calculation of the Rényi entropy of a
general CFT in d dimensions with a spherical entangling surface, in terms of certain thermal …

We construct a new gravitational action which includes cubic curvature interactions and
which provides a useful toy model for the holographic study of a three parameter family of …

We study properties of static, asymptotically AdS black holes in Lovelock gravity. Our main
result is a Smarr formula that gives the mass in terms of geometrical quantities together with …
