abstract
In AdS, scalar fields with masses slightly above the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound admit a variety of possible boundary conditions which are reflected in the Lagrangian of the dual field theory. Generic small changes in the AdS boundary conditions correspond to deformations of the dual field theory by multi-trace operators. Here we extend this discussion to the case of vector gauge fields in the bulk spacetime using the results of Ishibashi and Wald [hep-th/0402184]. As in the context of scalar fields, general boundary conditions for vector fields involve multi-trace deformations which lead to renormalization-group flows. Such flows originate in ultra-violet CFTs which give new gauge/gravity dualities. At least for AdS4/CFT3, the dual of the bulk photon appears to be a propagating gauge field instead of the usual R-charge current. Applying similar reasoning to tensor fields suggests the existence of a duality between string theory on AdS4 and a quantum gravity theory in three dimensions.

Defect-induced symmetry breaking viewed from the AdS bulk enforces protected displacement and tilt operators in non-local boundary CFTs via Ward identities.
In AdS3 gravity with double-trace scalar boundary conditions, zero-frequency boson stars are the true ground state below the instability threshold, and hairy black holes carry higher entropy than BTZ at fixed mass and angular momentum.
Equips bottom-up holographic D-brane models with dynamical boundary gauge fields and shows that quasinormal mode dispersion relations in equilibrium and nonequilibrium states match hydrodynamics with dynamical U(1) symmetry.
