In this paper we investigate the relation between the bulk and boundary in AdS/CFT. We first discuss the relation between the Poincare and the global vacua, and then study various probes of the bulk from the boundary theory point of view. We derive expressions for retarded propagators and note that objects in free fall look like expanding bubbles in the boundary theory. We also study several Yang-Mills theory examples where we investigate thermal screening and confinement using propagators. In the case of confinement we also calculate the profile of a flux tube and provide an alternative derivation of the tension.

  1. A Lindbladian for holographic Brownian motion

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Derives and analyzes a Lindbladian for holographic Brownian motion in BTZ and AdS5 black brane backgrounds from the influence functional.

  2. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

  3. Intrinsic Width of the Flux Tube as a tool to explore confining mechanisms in Lattice Gauge Theories

    hep-lat 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice data on the intrinsic width of SU(2) flux tubes in 2+1D distinguish confining models, favoring dual superconductor at low T but with length-dependent Ginzburg-Landau parameter.
