Abstract:
We analyze the conformal invariance of submanifold observables associated with kk-branes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. For odd kk, the resulting observables are conformally invariant, and for even kk, they transform with a conformal anomaly that is given by a local expression which we analyze in detail for k=2k=2
