  Abstract:
In [1], two of the authors studied the function Sm = Sm − π Pn i=1(mi − 1 mi ) log hi for orbifold Riemann surfaces of signature (g; m1, ..., mne ; np) on the generalized Schottky space Sg,n(m). In this paper, we prove the holographic duality between Sm and the renormalized hyperbolic volume Vren of the corresponding Schottky 3-orbifolds with lines of conical singularity that reach the conformal boundary. In case of the classical Liouville action on Sg and Sg,n(∞), the holography principle was proved in [2] and [3], respectively. Our result implies that Vren acts as a Kähler potential for a particular combination of the Weil–Petersson and Takhtajan–Zograf metrics that appears in the local index theorem for orbifold Riemann surfaces [4]. Moreover, we demonstrate that under the conformal transformations, the change of function Sm is equivalent to the Polyakov anomaly, which indicates that the function Sm is a consistent height function with a unique hyperbolic solution. Consequently, the associated renormalized hyperbolic volume Vren also admits a Polyakov anomaly formula. The method we used to establish this equivalence may provide an alternative approach to derive the renormalized Polyakov anomaly for Riemann surfaces with punctures (cusps), as described in [5].
