L2 CURVATURE AND VOLUME RENORMALIZATION OF AHE METRICS
ON 4-MANIFOLDS
MICHAEL T. ANDERSON
Abstract.This paper relates the boundary term in the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet f*
*ormula on 4-manifolds
M with the renormalized volume V , as defined in the AdS/CFT corresponden*
*ce, for asymptotically
hyperbolic Einstein metrics on M. In addition we compute and discuss the *
*differential or variation
