We propose a new holographic dual of conformal field theory defined on a manifold with boundaries, i.e. BCFT. Our proposal can apply to general boundaries and agrees with arXiv:1105.5165 for the special case of a disk and half plane. Using the new proposal of AdS/BCFT, we successfully obtain the expected boundary Weyl anomaly and the obtained boundary central charges satisfy naturally a c-like theorem holographically. We also investigate the holographic entanglement entropy of BCFT and find that the minimal surface must be normal to the bulk spacetime boundaries when they intersect. Interestingly,the entanglement entropy depends on the boundary conditions of BCFT and the distance to the boundary. The entanglement wedge has an interesting phase transition which is important for the self-consistency of AdS/BCFT.

  1. Fluid Boundary Conditions from AdS/BCFT

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In AdS/BCFT, the metric boundary condition on the end-of-the-world brane determines the fluid boundary condition: Neumann gives no-penetration plus Neumann conditions on velocity and temperature, and Dirichlet gives no-slip.
