Conformal Anomaly Of Submanifold Observables In AdS/CFT Correspondence
Abstract
We analyze the conformal invariance of submanifold observables associated with k-branes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. For odd k, the resulting observables are conformally invariant, and for even k, they transform with a conformal anomaly that is given by a local expression which we analyze in detail for k=2
