To O(1/N) we derive, purely from CFT data, the bulk equations of motion for interacting scalar fields and for scalars coupled to gauge fields and gravity. We first uplift CFT operators to mimic local AdS fields by imposing bulk…

Exact conformal field theories (CFTs) are obtained by using the approach of Poisson-Lie (PL) T-duality in the presence of spectators. We explicitly construct some non-Abelian T-dual $\sigma$-models (here as the PL T-duality on a…

We investigate the limit of minimal model conformal field theories where the central charge approaches one. We conjecture that this limit is described by a non-rational CFT of central charge one. The limiting theory is different from the…
