abstract

We analyze the conformal invariance of submanifold observables associated with $k$-branes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. For odd $k$, the resulting observables are conformally invariant, and for even $k$, they transform with a conformal anomaly that is given by a local expression which we analyze in detail for $k=2$

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. The AdS/$\mathsf{C}$-$\mathsf{P}$-${\mathsf T}$ Correspondence

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    N=4 super Yang-Mills has P and T symmetries that mix with CP and CT under S-duality, and these map to specific worldsheet and geometric symmetries of Type IIB string theory.

  2. Conformal Renormalisation of 8D Einstein Gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Holographic renormalisation of 8D Einstein-AdS gravity is recovered as the Einstein sector of the unique conformal gravity admitting constant-negative-curvature Einstein solutions, with matching counterterms.

  3. 2-loop free energy of M2 brane in AdS$_7 \times$ S$^4$ and surface defect anomaly in (2,0) theory

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 2-loop (1/N) correction to the M2-brane free energy in AdS7×S4 vanishes in dimensional and ζ-function regularizations, so the boundary defect anomaly is b = 12N − 9, supporting the U(N) (2,0) interpretation.

  4. Holography of a novel codimension-2 defect CFT

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new D5-brane solution in AdS5 x S5 is proposed as the dual of a non-supersymmetric codimension-2 defect CFT, with matching one-point functions in a large-flux limit.

  5. An unusual BPS equation

    hep-th 2025-01 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    All rotation-invariant superconformal defects satisfy CD/aT = -2(n-1)(p+2)Γ(p+1)/(n π^{p-n/2} Γ(p/2+1)Γ((n-p)/2)), proved from supersymmetric Ward identities.

  6. Tests of restricted Quantum Focusing and a new CFT bound

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    From rQFC, a new CFT bound follows that forbids the QNEC from saturating faster than O(Σ^{d−2}) in near-vacuum states, while rQFC is proven in JT gravity and explicit QFC counterexamples are constructed.

  7. Entanglement C-functions of defects and interfaces in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A probe-D5 holographic calculation gives analytic defect/interface entanglement entropy for massive D3/D5 intersections and shows the entropic C-function is monotonic but not always a finite degree-of-freedom count.

  8. Finite-cutoff Holographic Thermodynamics

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Finite-cutoff holography yields a thermodynamic duality between T^2-deformed CFTs and Schwarzschild-AdS black holes with a Dirichlet wall, including a teardrop coexistence curve with up to three states at one temperature.

  9. Renormalized pseudoentropy in dS/CFT

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Renormalized holographic pseudoentropy in dS/CFT is constructed from conformal-gravity actions in four and six dimensions, yielding finite sphere values and Mezei-like shape dependence for small deformations.

  10. From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric R\'enyi Entropy and Casimir Energy

    hep-th 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In 6D (2,0) theories, defect supersymmetric Rényi entropy contribution is linear in 1/n and equals a constant times (2b - d2); Casimir energy contribution equals -d2 (up to constant) in the chiral algebra limit.
