Abstract

We compute the off-shell spectrum of supergravity on AdS2×S2_2\times S^2 by explicit diagonalization of the equations of motion for an effective AdS2_2 theory where all fields are dualized to scalars and spin-12{1\over 2} fermions. Classifying all bulk modes as physical, gauge violating, and pure gauge let us identify boundary modes as physical fields on S2S^2 that are formally pure gauge but with gauge function that is non-normalizable on AdS2_2. As an application we compute the leading quantum correction to AdS2×S2_2\times S^2 as a sum over physical fields including boundary states.
