The AdS/CFT correspondence between theories in AdS space and conformal field theories in physical space-time provides an analytic, semi-classical, color-confining model for strongly-coupled QCD. The soft-wall AdS/QCD model modified by a…

In its Euclidean formulation, the AdS/CFT correspondence begins as a study of Yang-Mills conformal field theories on the sphere, S^4. It has been successfully extended, however, to S^1 X S^3 and to the torus T^4. It is natural to hope that…

We show that the semi-classical analysis of generic Euclidean path integrals necessarily requires complexification of the action and measure, and consideration of complex saddle solutions. We demonstrate that complex saddle points have a…

This work investigates the relevance of Euclidean and complex axion wormholes to the AdS/CFT factorization problem. We use a framework that defines bulk gravitational path integrals by integrating over a real Lorentz-signature contour and…

Kontsevich and Segal (K-S) have proposed a criterion to determine which complex metrics should be allowed, based on the requirement that quantum field theories may consistently be defined on these metrics, and Witten has recently suggested…

Exponential regularization of orthogonal and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is presented based on noncommutative geometry. We show that an adequately adopted noncommutative deformation of geometry makes the holography of higher dimensional…

We study the Hamiltonian vector field $v=(-\partial f/\partial w,\partial f/\partial z)$ on $\mathbb C^2$, where $f=f(z,w)$ is a polynomial in two complex variables, which is non-degenerate with respect to its Newton's polygon. We introduce…

We present a conjecture on the complete spectrum of single-trace operators in the infinite N limit of W(N) minimal model and evidences for the conjecture. We further propose that the holographic dual of W(N) minimal model in the 't Hooft…

The interplay between cosmology and strongly coupled dynamics can yield transient spectral features that vanish at late times, but which may leave behind phenomenological signatures in the spectrum of primordial fluctuations. Of particular…

We propose that the euclidean bilocal collective field theory of critical large-N vector models provides a complete definition of the proposed dual theory of higher spin fields in anti de-Sitter spaces. We show how this bilocal field can be…

The AdS/CFT correspondence is an explicit realization of the holographic principle relating a theory of gravity in a volume of space to a lower dimensional quantum field theory on its boundary. By exploiting elements of quantum error…

We construct a CFT with $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})_k$ symmetry at the `tensionless' point $k=3$, which is distinct from the usual $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})_{k=3}$ WZW model. This new CFT is much simpler than the generic WZW model: in…

Semiclassical methods are extremely important in the subjects of wave packet and coherent state dynamics. Unfortunately, these essentially saddle point approximations are considered nearly impossible to carry out in detail for systems with…

We describe a novel implementation of non-relativistic fermions in AdS/CFT by imposing Lorentz violating boundary conditions for a Dirac spinor in AdS4. The dual boundary theory is scale invariant and exhibits a number of interesting…

In addition to describing our universe, gravitational theories profoundly inspire the study of emergent properties of exotic phases of matter. While the Anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is one of the most…

Holographic QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadrons, the bound states of the strong interactions. In holographic models, the extra spatial dimension creates a waveguide for fields, and the discrete towers of modes…

We study a charged scalar field in a bulk 3+1 dimensional anti-deSitter spacetime with a planar black hole background metric. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence this is equivalent to a strongly coupled field theory in 2+1 dimensions…

We study Wilson loops in string theory realizations of AdS/BCFT and wedge holography. The field theories are based on 3d $\mathcal N=4$ long quiver gauge theories engineered by D3, D5 and NS5 branes, and on BCFTs involving 4d $\mathcal N=4$…

Euclidean AdS wormholes provide a natural setup for studying the AdS/CFT correspondence with multiple boundaries. However, from a bottom-up perspective, they cannot be embedded in the four-dimensional Einstein-AdS-Maxwell theory if these…

The Anti-de Sitter Space/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence may offer new and useful insights into the non-perturbative regime of strongly coupled gauge theories such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Soft-wall AdS/QCD models…
