Abstract

The present paper provides a complete treatment of boundary terms in general relativity to include cases with lightlike boundary segments along with the usual spacelike and timelike ones. Applications of this exhaustive treatment includes a recent conjecture on computational complexity in the context of AdS/CFT.
