We study the transition of a scalar field in a fixed $AdS_{d+1}$ background between an extremum and a minimum of a potential. We first prove that two conditions must be met for the solution to exist. First, the potential involved cannot be…

We provide a procedure to determine if a given nonlocal operator in a large N holographic CFT is dual to a local bulk operator on the geometry associated with a particular code subspace of the CFT. This procedure does not presuppose…

Physical consistency of quantum fields in anti-de Sitter space time requires that the space must be compactified by the inclusion of a boundary where appropriate conditions are imposed. An interpretation for the presence of this boundary is…

In this paper, we initiate our program to classify conformal fluid boundary conditions, by utilizing the fluid/gravity correspondence in the AdS/BCFT correspondence. The AdS/BCFT correspondence is a conjectured duality between a quantum…

We study how bulk propagation in global AdS$_3$ is encoded in boundary energy densities of the dual CFT$_2$ on the cylinder. A key feature of the global geometry, which is absent in the Poincar\'e-patch description, is that a null…
