Motivated by structural issues in the AdS-CFT correspondence, the theory of generalized free fields is reconsidered. A stress-energy tensor for the generalized free field is constructed as a limit of Wightman fields. Although this limit is singular, it fulfils the requirements of a conserved local density for the Poincar'e generators. An explicit "holographic" formula relating the Klein-Gordon field on AdS to generalized free fields on Minkowski space-time is provided, and contrasted with the "algebraic" notion of holography. A simple relation between the singular stress-energy tensor and the canonical AdS stress-energy tensor is exhibited.

  1. Universality of Magic in Local Quantum Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In any local QFT, vacuum-like states have non-flat entanglement spectra because local algebras are type III₁, so no stabilizer state can flow to them in the continuum: QFT states necessarily carry magic.

  2. Entanglement Wedge Reconstruction without Holographic Quantum Error Correction

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A locality-based commutant argument shows that finite-N holographic CFTs lack the protected logical sector required for holographic quantum error correction, leaving only region-by-region entanglement wedge reconstruction.

  3. Searching for emergent spacetime in spin glasses

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spectral functions of SYK, p-spin, and SU(M) Heisenberg models show exponential tails in spin-glass phases and quasiparticle families in spin-liquid phases, with a proof that exponential decay blocks detection of bulk...

  4. Holography at Finite N: Breakdown of Bulk Reconstruction for Subregions

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Reconstructed AdS-Rindler bulk operators have three-point functions scaling as N^{-1} exp((pi/2)(|lambda|-omega)), so they break down above a (2/pi) ln N momentum scale.

  5. How negative can null energy be in large N CFTs?

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In large N conformal field theories, states built from light scalar operators or stress tensors can have negative smeared null energy, but the negative amount is bounded by a scale set by the central charge.

  6. Excitability of Gaussian states with VEVs

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Proves excitability of Gaussian states with VEVs requires connected two-point criteria plus bounded VEV difference, with explicit AdS/CFT application.

  7. Poles-zeros duality in semi-holographic Mott insulators

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A semi-holographic model couples a fermion to a holographic composite sector, yielding poles-zeros duality in the Green's function that distinguishes metallic and Mott-insulating phases through choice of quantization.
