Renormalized AdS action and Critical Gravity
Abstract
It is shown that the renormalized action for AdS gravity in even spacetime dimensions is equivalent -on shell- to a polynomial of the Weyl tensor, whose first non-vanishing term is proportional to Weyl2. Remarkably enough, the coupling of this last term coincides with the one that appears in Critical Gravity.
