Weyl anomaly from Weyl gravity

Abstract

We calculate the conformal anomaly from 5d Weyl gravity (with broken conformal symmetry) which is conjectured to be supergravity dual to N=2{\cal N}=2 superconformal field theory via AdS/CFT correspondence. Its comparison with N=2{\cal N}=2 SCFT conformal anomaly (UV calculation) suggests that such duality may exist subject to presence of sub-leading 1/N corrections to cosmological and gravitational constants.
