We discuss a variant of the F-theorem and F-maximization principles which applies to (super)conformal boundary conditions of 4d (S)CFTs.

hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

A new maximization principle, F_AdS-maximization, selects boundary conditions for N=2 SYM in AdS4 and predicts a transition to a U(1)-Higgsed phase at strong coupling.

hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.
