The holographic Weyl anomaly associated to Chern-Simons gravity in 2n+1dimensions is proportional to the Euler term in 2n dimensions, with nocontributions from the Weyl tensor. We compute the holographic energy-momentumtensor associated to Chern-Simons gravity directly from the action, in anarbitrary odd-dimensional spacetime. We show, in particular, that thecounterterms rendering the action finite contain only terms of the Lovelocktype.Comment: 10 pages, no figure
