We study a simple version of the AdS/CFT (anti-de Sitter spacetime/Conformal Field Theory) correspondence, where operators have integer conformal dimensions. In this model, bulk causality follows from boundary analyticity, even in…

We quantify how the two-point function of a real scalar field is affected by the distortion caused by deforming AdS$_2$ to a near-AdS$_2$ background. At tree-level, the backreaction of the geometry induces a finite-temperature correction to…

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…

$AdS_3$ string theory in the stringy regime $k=(R_{AdS}/\ell_{str})^2 < 1$ provides a laboratory for the study of holography in which both sides of AdS/CFT duality are under fairly good control. Worldsheet string theory is solvable, and for…

In this work, we study the holographic entanglement entropy in AdS$_3$ gravity with the certain mixed boundary condition, which turns out to correspond to $T\bar{T}$-deformed 2D CFTs. By employing the Chern-Simons formalism and Wilson line…

We consider a scalar field theory on AdS, and show that the usual AdS/CFT prescription is unable to map to the boundary a part of the information arising from the quantization in the bulk. We propose a solution to this problem by defining…
