Abstract

Lovelock theory is the natural extension of general relativity to higher dimensions. It can be also thought of as a toy model for ghost-free higher curvature gravity. It admits a family of AdS vacua, most (but not all) of them supporting black holes that display interesting features. This provides an appealing arena to explore different holographic aspects in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Footnotes
1
If λ < 0, there is no a priori lower bound for it and it is clear that Λ + becomes positive.
 
2
Recall that it is the branch crossing g = 0 with slope Υ′[0] = 1.
 
3
Other components of the metric fluctuations must be considered as well, but they are irrelevant for our current discussion.
 
4
Notice that we are splitting time and space indices and, thus, from now on vectors are understood as (d − 2) dimensional objects.
 
5
The same computation can be carried out with vector and scalar gravitons, and the result in these two cases will be obvious from the present analysis.
