We explore the extent to which a local string theory dynamics in anti-de Sitter space can be determined from its proposed Conformal Field Theory (CFT) description. Free fields in the bulk are constructed from the CFT operators, but difficulties are encountered when one attempts to incorporate interactions. We also discuss general features of black hole dynamics as seen from the CFT perspective. In particular, we argue that the singularity of AdS_3 black holes is resolved in the CFT description.

    Pairs of large-N 1D CFTs encode generalized free fields on a timelike geodesic in de Sitter space via large-N factorization, 1D conformal symmetry, and split representations of dS Green functions.

    Evanescent quantum extremal surfaces, bounded in area but not generalized entropy, diagnose failures of spacetime emergence in holography.

  3. Flat Space Physics from AdS Actions

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Reducing 4D massless and massive scalar actions in flat and Klein space to 3D theories on hyperbolic slices produces continuous spectra linked by boundary terms, with boundary modes matching light-cone or null-infinit...
