Abstract

As an alternative to the Holographic Renormalization procedure, we

introduce a regularization scheme for AdS gravity based on the addition

boundary terms which are a given polynomial of the extrinsic and 

intrinsic curvatures (Kounterterms).

 

Since these terms are closely related to either topological invariants 

or Chern-Simons densities in the corresponding dimension, they can be 

easily generalized to other gravity theories (Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet, 

Lovelock, etc.).

 

Finally, a general prescription on how to obtained the standard 

counterterm series in AdS gravity is given.​
