The bosonic string propagating in AdSD+1 is made Weyl invariant to leading and sub-leading order in large D by a ghost–matter coupling that despite modifying the target-space still preserves the Poincaré symmetry of the boundary.

Using Supergravity on AdS7×S4 we calculate the bulk one-loop contribution to the conformal anomaly of the (2,0) theory describing N coincident M5 branes. When this is added to the tree-level result, and an additional subleading order contribution cal...

We compute the complete bulk one-loop contribution to the Weyl anomaly of the boundary theory for IIB supergravity compactified on AdS5×S5. The result, that , reproduces the subleading term in the exact expression for the Weyl anomaly of super-Yang–M...
