We propose that a novel deformation of string perturbation theory, involving non-local interactions between strings, is required to describe the gravity duals of field theories deformed by multiple-trace operators. The new perturbative expansion involves a new parameter, which is neither the string coupling nor the coefficient of a vertex operator on the worldsheet. We explore some of the properties of this deformation, focusing on a special case where the deformation in the field theory is exactly marginal.

  1. Wilson Towers as Local Bulk Fields

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A multi-winding Wilson loop in thermal AdS3 is re-expressed as a sum over single-winding Wilson loops, one per multi-trace primary, so a free bulk field becomes a tower of Wilson lines.
