Abstract

The AdS/CFT equivalence transformation is a field redefinition that relates the Weyl dilaton and AdS brane realizations of broken conformal symmetry. Acting on theories with second order equations of motion, it maps the conformal galileons to the DBI galileons for a flat brane probing an AdS bulk. Here we extend this map to arbitrary dimensions and resolve an apparent puzzle regarding the Wess-Zumino terms in odd dimensions.
