It is shown that it is possible to define quantum field theory of a massless scalar free field on the Killing horizon of a 2D-Rindler spacetime. Free quantum field theory on the horizon enjoys diffeomorphism invariance and turns out to be…
We construct a manifestly covariant and coordinate-free plane-wave representation of scalar two-point functions in $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. The construction is based on a new class of holomorphic plane waves defined…
An asymptotically AdS geometry connecting two or more boundaries is given by a entangled state, that can be expanded in the product basis of the Hilbert spaces of each CFT living on the boundaries. We derive a prescription to compute this…
We present an exactly solvable model of a scalar field in an AdS$_{d+1}$ like background interpolating between a $Z_2$ preserving and a $Z_2$ breaking minima of the potential. We define its holographic dual through the AdS/CFT dictionary…
In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of *-algebras. It is proposed that the global gauge group of such a theory can be identified as the…
We review double field theory (DFT) with emphasis on the doubled spacetime and its generalized coordinate transformations, which unify diffeomorphisms and b-field gauge transformations. We illustrate how the composition of generalized…
The superselection sectors of two classes of scalar bilocal quantum fields in D>=4 dimensions are explicitly determined by working out the constraints imposed by unitarity. The resulting classification in terms of the dual of the respective…
Certain null singularities in ten dimensional supergravity have natural holographic duals in terms of Matrix Theory and generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In many situations the holographic duals appear to be well defined in…
In this paper, we propose a generalization of the $\mathrm{AdS_2/CFT_1}$ correspondence constructed by Mezei, Pufu and Wang in \cite{MezeiPufuWang}, which is the duality between 2d Yang-Mills theory with higher derivatives in the…
We study a bottom-up, holographic description of a field theory yielding the spontaneous breaking of an approximate SO(5) global symmetry to its SO(4) subgroup. The weakly-coupled, six-dimensional gravity dual has regular geometry. One of…
We study a classical bilocal field theory perturbatively up to second order. The chosen theory is the simplest which incorporates action-at-a-distance, while keeping non-local effects short-ranged. We show that the new degrees of freedom…
When gauging a $(d-1)$-form symmetry in $d$ spacetime dimensions, one formally expects the gauged theory to carry a dual $-1$-form symmetry. This work focuses on the study of such symmetries, in particular via the spacetime-filling…
Using the collective field technique, we give the description of the spin Calogero-Sutherland Model (CSM) in terms of free bosons. This approach can be applicable for arbitrary coupling constant and provides the bosonized Hamiltonian of the…
In order to better understand how AdS holography works for sub-regions, we formulate a holographic version of the Reeh-Schlieder theorem for the simple case of an AdS Klein-Gordon field. This theorem asserts that the set of states…

M-theory compactified on S^7/Z_k allows for a four-dimensional, asymptotically AdS cosmology. The holographic dual consists of ABJM theory with a non-supersymmetric marginal deformation. At weak 't Hooft coupling the dual theory possesses a…
We show that any conformal field theory in d-dimensional Minkowski space, in a phase with spontaneously broken conformal symmetry and with the dilaton among its fields, can be rewritten in terms of the static gauge (d-1)-brane on AdS_(d+1)…
We propose massive gravity as a holographic framework for describing a class of strongly interacting quantum field theories with broken translational symmetry. Bulk gravitons are assumed to have a Lorentz-breaking mass term as a substitute…
We introduce a classical field theory based on a concept of extended causality that mimics the causality of a point-particle Classical Mechanics by imposing constraints that are equivalent to a particle initial position and velocity. It…
We study in detail the relationship between strong subadditivity for a boundary field theory and energy conditions for its bulk dual in 2+1 dimensions. We provide a discussion of known facts and new results organized from the simplest case…
