We propose an intrinsic CFT definition of local bulk operators in AdS3/CFT2 in terms of twisted Ishibashi boundary states. The bulk field Phi(X) creates a cross cap, a circular hole with opposite edge points identified, in the CFT space-time. The size of the hole is parameterized by the holographic radial coordinate y. Our definition is state-independent, non-perturbative, and does not presume or utilize a semi-classical bulk geometry. We argue that, at large central charge, the matrix element between highly excited states satisfies the bulk wave equation in the AdS black hole background.

  1. Notes on flat-space limit of holographic defect correlators in position space

    hep-th 2025-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A position-space flat-space limit formula for holographic defect two-point functions is derived, proven equivalent to the Mellin-space conjecture, and checked against Wilson loops, surface defects, and giant gravitons.
