The space of permutation orbifolds is a simple landscape of two dimensional CFTs, generalizing the well-known symmetric orbifolds. We consider constraints which a permutation orbifold with large central charge must obey in order to be holographically dual to a weakly coupled (but possibly stringy) theory of gravity in AdS. We then construct explicit examples of permutation orbifolds which obey these constraints. In our constructions the spectrum remains finite at large N, but differs qualitatively from that of symmetric orbifolds. We also discuss under what conditions the correlation functions factorize at large N and thus reduce to those of a generalized free field in AdS. We show that this happens not just for symmetric orbifolds, but also for permutation groups which act "democratically" in a sense which we define.

  1. Covering space maps for $n$-point functions with three long twists

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit covering-space maps for three long twists plus any number of twist-2 operators are constructed, yielding closed-form four- and five-point bare twist correlators in the ΔN=1,2 cases.

  2. Emergent Closed Universes in Symmetric Orbifold CFTs

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Large N symmetric orbifold CFTs decompose into superselection sectors that behave as closed universes, with each physical sector becoming one-dimensional after gauging, matching gravitational expectations.

  3. Holographic Equidistribution

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Equidistribution of Hecke operators in large N CFT limits reduces the partition function to light-state Poincaré series with an immediate interpretation as sums over handlebody geometries.

  4. A glimpse into the Ultrametric spectrum

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantum oscillators with energies from the Vladimirov derivative on the p-adic unit circle — exponentially spaced and exponentially degenerate — give string-like square-root-of-energy entropy, modulated by log-periodi...
