Magnetic solutions in AdS$_5$ and trace anomalies

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We discuss black hole and black string solutions in d=5 Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with negative cosmological constant, proposing a method to compute their mass and action. The magnetic gauge field of these configurations does not vanish at infinity. We argue that this implies a nonvanishing trace for the stress tensor of the dual d=4 theory.
