We study the AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ duality where the boundary CFT is free Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(N). At the planar level we use the spectrum and correlation functions of the boundary theory to explicate features of the bulk theory. Further, by computing the one-loop partition function of the bulk theory using the methods of arXiv:1603.05387, we argue that the bulk coupling constant should be shifted to $N^2$ from $N^2-1$. Similar conclusions are reached by studying the dualities in thermal AdS$_5$ with $S^1\times S^3$ boundary.

  1. Worldline Higher Spin Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    A worldline path integral model for higher-spin gravity in AdS4 is constructed using twistor actions and double-line vertices, reproducing boundary correlators of free boson and fermion vector models.
