Homework Statement


I want to calculate the on shell action for the case of a AdS Schwarzschild black hole.

Homework Equations


Following the case of the flat Schwarzschild black hole I tried to add a counter-term of the type of a Gibbons-Hawking boundary term for flat Minkowski spacetime, however this doesn't seem to lead to a finite answer when I take the limit r to infinity.

Is there a method to find out what is the right counter-term that I need to add?

The Attempt at a SolutionI have tried to use the same method as for the flat Schwarzschild black hole, i.e. adding a counter-term of the type of a Gibbons-Hawking boundary term for flat Minkowski spacetime. However this doesn't seem to lead to a finite answer when I take the limit r to infinity.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
