abstract

We consider an effective theory of massive scalar fields on a fixed AdS$_{d+1}$ background with a cubic extremal interaction among them. A bulk coupling is called extremal whenever the corresponding conformal dimension of any of the dual CFT$_d$ operators matches the sum of all the others. For cubic bulk couplings, this is $\Delta_i+\Delta_j=\Delta_k$. These bulk interactions are often disregarded in the literature since they do not appear in traditional models of AdS/CFT. Turning them on yields a divergent vertex in the dual CFT, and here we show that these divergences can be regulated. Once renormalized, we demonstrate that this coupling introduces non-trivial mixing between single- and double-trace operators, and we compute the anomalous dimensions of the corrected operators to leading order in perturbation theory.

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Hamilton-Jacobi holographic renormalization scheme for scalars in Minkowski space yields a GKPW-style flat holography dictionary: source = scattering data, vev = renormalized momentum, with correlators matching the ...

  3. The Effects of Near-AdS$_2$ Backreaction on Matter Fields

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Backreaction of near-AdS2 geometry gives a temperature correction to scalar correlators that for massive fields needs metric backreaction, matches BTZ, and corrects the standard prescription.
