Motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that there is a remarkable agreement between static supergravity solutions and extrema of a field theory potential. For essentially any function V, there are boundary conditions in anti de Sitter space so that gravitational solitons exist precisely at the extrema of V and have masses given by the value of V at these extrema. Based on this, we propose new positive energy conjectures. On the field theory side, each function V can be interpreted as the effective potential for a certain operator in the dual field theory.

Holographic renormalization and the variational problem for mixed boundary conditions via a solution-dependent superpotential-like function
For m²L²=-2 in AdS black holes with integrable mixed boundary conditions, the cubic coefficient in the near-boundary expansion of the solution-dependent W(φ) is fixed by the boundary deformation to ensure a well-posed...

Testing the effective action approach to bubble nucleation in holography
A two-derivative holographic effective action reproduces critical bubble solutions from the full gravity theory to within a few percent across thin-wall and thick-wall regimes.
