We argue that multi-trace interactions in quantum field theory on the boundary of AdS space can be incorporated in the AdS/CFT correspondence by using a more general boundary condition for the bulk fields than has been considered hitherto. We illustrate the procedure for a renormalizable four-dimensional field theory with a $(\Tr \Phi^2)^2$ interaction. In this example, we show how the AdS fields with the appropriate boundary condition reproduce the renormalization group effects found in the boundary field theory. We also construct in related examples a line of fixed points with a nonperturbative duality, and a flow between two methods of quantization.

  4. Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.
