In previous work, we showed that an anomaly in the one point function of marginal operators is related by the Wess-Zumino condition to the Euler density anomaly on a two dimensional defect or boundary. Here we analyze in detail the two…

We consider 1+1 D theories which are free everywhere except for cosine and magnetic interactions on the boundary. These theories arise in dissipative quantum systems, open string theory, and, in special cases, tunneling in quantum Hall…

We investigate the correlators of three single-trace operators in Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory from the perspective of integrable boundary states. Specifically, we focus on scenarios where two operators being $1/3$-BPS…

We initiate the study of holographic correlators for operators whose dimension scales with the central charge of the CFT. Differently from light correlators or probes, the insertion of any such maximally heavy operator changes the AdS…

The AdS_3/CFT_2 correspondence is checked beyond the supergravity approximation by comparing correlation functions. To this end we calculate 2- and 3-point functions on the sphere of certain chiral primary operators for strings on AdS_3 x…

We present a constructive derivation of all four-point tree-level holographic correlators for eleven dimensional supergravity on $AdS_7 \times S^4$. These correlators correspond to four-point functions of arbitrary one-half BPS operators in…
