Holographic two-point functions for 4d log-gravity
We compute holographic one- and two-point functions of critical
higher-curvature gravity in four dimensions. The two most important operators
are the stress tensor and its logarithmic partner, sourced by ordinary massless
and by logarithmic non-normalisable gravitons, respectively. In addition, the
logarithmic gravitons source two ordinary operators, one with spin-one and one
with spin-zero. The one-point function of the stress tensor vanishes for all
Einstein solutions, but has a non-zero contribution from logarithmic gravitons.
The two-point functions of all operators match the expectations from a
three-dimensional logarithmic conformal field theory.Comment: 35 pages; v2: typos corrected, added reference; v3: shorter

More on Massive 3D Supergravity
Completing earlier work on three dimensional (3D) N=1 supergravity with
curvature-squared terms, we construct the general supergravity extension of
cosmological massive gravity theories. We expand about supersymmetric anti-de
Sitter vacua, finding the conditions for bulk unitarity and the critical points
in parameter space at which the spectrum changes. We discuss implications for
the dual conformal field theory.Comment: v1 : 53 pages, 1 figure; v2 : significantly shortened, 42 p., version
