Counterterms in Massive Gravity Theory

Understand

We derived local boundary counterterms in massive gravity theory with a negative cosmological constant in four dimensions.

• With these counterterms at hand we analyzed the properties of the boundary field theory in the context of AdS/CFT duality by calculating the boundary stress energy tensor.
• The calculation shows that the boundary stress energy tensor is conserved, and momentum dissipation might occur on the level of linear response only.
• We also calculated the thermodynamic quantities and the boundary stress energy tensor for a specific type of solutions.
