Defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) have been attracting increased attention recently, mainly because they enable us to bridge the gap between idealistic, highly symmetric models of our world (such as the particle/string duality) and…
In this thesis I explore the generality of the holographic principle in 2+1 (bulk) dimensions by looking at the possibility of having holographic correspondences for non-AdS (higher-spin) spacetimes. The first part focuses on Lobachevsky…
Some problems with theoretical foundations of bottom-up holographic models are briefly discussed. It is pointed out that the spectroscopic aspects of these models in principle do not require the AdS/CFT prescriptions and may be interpreted…
Holographic QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadrons, the bound states of the strong interactions. In holographic models, the extra spatial dimension creates a waveguide for fields, and the discrete towers of modes…
Causal holographic information [1] is a variant of the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal for the entanglement entropy of a spatial region in the context of AdS/CFT, but with the bulk surface defined by causality rather than extremality. We…
The talk is composed of two parts, both set within the AdS/CFT context. In the first part, I discuss holographic insight into strongly coupled field theory in a black hole background. I conjecture two new gravitational solutions, dubbed…
Four lectures on holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence applied to condensed matter systems. The first lecture introduces the concept of a quantum phase transition. The second lecture discusses linear response theory and Ward identities.…
The pseudo entropy is a promising recent generalization of the entanglement entropy to the situations in which both the initial and final state are involved, with the density matrix promoted to the transition matrix. However, in contrast to…
Among various applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence in condensed matter physics of particular importance is the realization of the phase transition between the normal and superconducting phase in a holographic QFT. After seminal papers…
We develop the representation of interacting bulk gauge fields and charged scalar matter in AdS in terms of non-local observables in the dual CFT. We work in holographic gauge in the bulk, A_z = 0. The correct statement of micro-causality…
The AdS/CFT correspondence often motivates research on questions in gravitational physics whose relevance might not be immediately clear from a purely GR-perspective, but which are nevertheless interesting. In these proceedings, we…
The physical analysis of condensed matter systems can be difficult due to strong coupling, but the mathematical context of the AdS/CFT correspondence enables non-perturbative descriptions in terms of dual weakly coupled systems. This brief…
We point out that two distinct distance--energy relations have been discussed in the AdS/CFT correspondence. In conformal backgrounds they differ only in normalization, but in nonconformal backgrounds they differ in functional form. We…
We propose a new duality relation between codimension two space-like surfaces in gravitational theories and quantum states in dual Hilbert spaces. This surface/state correspondence largely generalizes the idea of holography such that we do…
The AdS/CFT correspondence is useful primarily when the number of colours, $N_{\textsf{c}}$, characterising the boundary field theory, is "large", and when the mass of the bulk black hole that is usually present is "large" relative to the…
General properties of coordinate-space holographic projections of fields in AdS/CFT correspondence, which respect the Ward identity, are investigated. To show the usefulness of this methodology it is applied to the computation of…
We begin by reexamining the holographic reconstruction of scalar fields in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, adopting a purely Lorentzian signature derivation, reproducing earlier results of HKLL and generalizing to arbitrary…
We study the dimensionality manifested in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that the dimensionality as expressed by the high temperature behavior of a system has a holographic nature also at the quantum level. The emergence of the AdS…
Matrix theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence provide nonperturbative holographic formulations of string theory. In both cases the finite N theories can be thought of as infrared regulated versions of flat space string theory in which…
In this article we explore the holographic approach to neutron stars in the realm of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). We delve into the structures of neutron stars, emphasizing the application of the AdS/CFT duality in modeling them. We discuss…
