We extend the work of [4] to support the conjecture that any conformal field theory with a large N expansion and a large gap in the spectrum of anomalous dimensions has a local bulk dual. We count to O(1/N^2) the solutions to the crossing…

We consider the D1D5 CFT near the orbifold point and develop methods for computing the mixing of untwisted operators to first order by using the OPE on the covering surface. We argue that the OPE on the cover encodes both the structure…

The singular part of the \textit{operator product expansion} (OPE) of a pair of \textit{globally conformal invariant} (GCI) scalar fields $\phi$ of (integer) dimension $d$ can be written as a sum of the 2-point function of $\phi$ and $d-1$…
