  In this paper we look for AdS solutions to generalised gravity theories in
the bulk in various spacetime dimensions. The bulk gravity action includes the
action of a non-minimally coupled scalar field with gravity, and a
higher-derivative action of gravity. The usual Einstein-Hilbert gravity is
induced when the scalar acquires a non-zero vacuum expectation value. The
equation of motion in the bulk shows scenarios where AdS geometry emerges
on-shell. We further obtain the action of the fluctuation fields on the
background at quadratic and cubic orders.
