The divergence is local in the induced boundary metric and is cancelled by the leading holographic renormalization countertermOn the regulated cylinder this iswhich cancels the ${ϵ}^{-2}$ divergence of $I_{\mathrm{GR}}$. An overall sign changes if one uses the oppositely signed Euclidean generating functional; the local counterterm changes with it.

When $J(x)$ varies, the radial wave equation recursively generates local derivative terms before the normalizable response. SubstitutingintogivesBecause the boundary dimension is odd, no logarithmic term is required. Holographic renormalization subtracts these source-dependent pieces, leavingin the normalization $\mathcal{O}=A$. Equivalently,
