Abstract

It is shown that the renormalized action for AdS gravity in even spacetime dimensions is equivalent -on shell- to a polynomial of the Weyl tensor, whose first non-vanishing term is proportional to $Weyl^2$ . Remarkably enough, the coupling of this last term coincides with the one that appears in Critical Gravity.
