Abstract: We argue that the conjectural relation between the subleading term in the small-squashing expansion of the free energy of general three-dimensional CFTs on squashed spheres and the stress-tensor three-point charge t4 proposed in arXiv:1808.02052: FmathbbSvarepsilon3(3)(0)=frac1630pi4CscriptscriptstyleTt4, holds for an infinite family of holographic higher-curvature theories. Using holographic calculations for quartic and quintic Generalized Quasi-topological gravities and general-order Quasi-topological gravities, we identify an analogous analytic relation between such term and the charges t2 and t4 valid for five-dimensional theories: FmathbbSvarepsilon5(3)(0)=frac215pi6CscriptscriptstyleTleft[1+frac340t2+frac23630t4ight]. We test both conjectures using new analytic and numerical results for conformally-coupled scalars and free fermions, finding perfect agreement.
