We construct higher-derivative gravity theories in three dimensions that admit holographic $c$-theorems and exhibit a unique maximally symmetric vacuum, at arbitrary order $n$ in the curvature. We show that these theories exhibit special…
Renormalized homotopy continuation on toric varieties is introduced as a tool for solving sparse systems of polynomial equations, or sparse systems of exponential sums. The cost of continuation depends on a renormalized condition length,…
