We investigate the holographic dual to supergravity instanton solutions in $\rm AdS_5\times S^5/\mathbb{Z}_k$, which are described entirely in terms of geodesics on the AdS moduli space. These instantons are expected to be holographically…
The 3d spin-3 gravity theory is holographically dual to a 2d ${\cal W}_3$-extended CFT. In a large-c limit the symmetry algebra of the CFT reduces to $SU(1,2) \times SU(1,2)$. On the ground of symmetry the dual bulk space-time will be given…
It is shown that the addition of a topological invariant (Gauss-Bonnet term) to the anti-de Sitter (AdS) gravity action in four dimensions recovers the standard regularization given by holographic renormalization procedure. This crucial…
I compare two holographic mechanisms giving to the graviton a parametrically-small supersymmetric mass $m_g$ in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the context of bi-metric gravity these mechanisms couple `weakly' two initially decoupled…
We study maximally supersymmetric AdS$_D$ solutions of gauged supergravities in dimensions $D \geq 4$. We show that such solutions can only exist if the gauge group after spontaneous symmetry breaking is a product of two reductive groups…
The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length is one of the remarkable aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be large compared to the Planck length and the string length.…
We consider a twisted version of the four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge groups SU(2) and SO(3), and bare masses for two of its chiral multiplets, thereby breaking N=4 down to N=2. Using the wall-crossing…
Quasi-topological gravity is a new gravitational theory including curvature-cubed interactions and for which exact black hole solutions were constructed. In a holographic framework, classical quasi-topological gravity can be thought to be…
We generalize the $T\overline{T}$ deformation of CFT$_2$ to higher-dimensional large-$N$ CFTs, and show that in holographic theories, the resulting effective field theory matches semiclassical gravity in AdS with a finite radial cutoff. We…
We consider 1/4 BPS black hole solutions of ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity in $AdS_4$. The near horizon geometry is $AdS_2 \times S^2$ and supersymmetry is enhanced. In the first part of the paper we choose a moment map, which allows the…
The $T\bar T$ deformation is a solvable irrelevant deformation whose properties depend on the sign of the deformation parameter $\mu$. In particular, $T\bar T$-deformed CFTs with $\mu<0$ have been proposed to be holographically dual to…
We construct $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric AdS$_3$ solutions of type IIB supergravity, dual to twisted compactifications of 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang--Mills on Riemann surfaces. We consider both theories with a regular topological…
Using AdS/CFT correspondence we found the conformal anomaly from d3 and d5 gauged supergravity with single scalar (dilaton) and the arbitrary scalar potential on AdS-like scalar-gravitational background. Such dilatonic gravity action…
We systematically study inhomogeneous Hamiltonians in two-dimensional conformal field theories within the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence by relating them to two-dimensional curved backgrounds. We propose a classification of…
We explore a novel interpretation of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) as theories of gravity, proposing a holographic duality where the bulk SymTFT (with the gauging of a suitable Lagrangian algebra) is dual to the universal…
Bosonic sector of d5 gauged supergravity with specific parametrization of full scalar coset is considered (multi-dilaton gravity). Using holographic RG in the form suggested by de Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde the holographic d4 conformal anomaly…
We consider the $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ dualities proposed by Eberhardt, where the bulk geometry is AdS$_3\times(S^3\times T^4)/\mathbb{Z}_k$, and the CFT is a deformation of the symmetric orbifold of the supersymmetric sigma…
We develop a framework for holographic thermodynamics in finite-cutoff holography, extending the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to incorporate a finite radial cutoff in the bulk and a $T^2$-deformed CFT on…
We argue that the N=1 higher-spin theory on AdS4 is holographically dual to the N=1 supersymmetric critical O(N) vector model in three dimensions. This appears to be a special form of the AdS/CFT correspondence in which both regular and…
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…
