Abstract

The obstruction for a perturbative reconstruction of the five-dimensional bulk metric starting from the four-dimensional metric at the boundary,that is, the Dirichlet problem, is computed in dimensions 6≤ d≤ 10 and some comments are made on its general structure and, in particular, on its relationship with the conformal anomaly, which we compute in dimension d=8.
