چکیده

We formulate four-dimensional conformal gravity with (anti-)de Sitter boundary conditions that are weaker than Starobinsky boundary conditions, allowing for an asymptotically subleading Rindler term concurrent with a recent model for gravity at large distances. We prove the consistency of the variational principle and derive the holographic response functions. One of them is the conformal gravity version of the Brown-York stress tensor, the other is a "partially massless response". The on shell action and response functions are finite and do not require holographic renormalization. Finally, we discuss phenomenologically interesting examples, including the most general spherically symmetric solutions and rotating black hole solutions with partially massless hair.

Towards Flatspace Holography from Non-Relativistic Symmetries

The asymptotic group of symmetries at null infinity of flat spacetimes in three and four dimensions is the infinite dimensional Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group. This has recently been shown to be isomorphic to non-relativistic conformal algebras in one lower dimension, the Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA) in 2d and a closely related non-relativistic algebra in 3d [1]. We provide a better unders...

Universal anomalous dimensions at large spin and large twist

In this paper we consider anomalous dimensions of double trace operators at large spin (`) and large twist (τ) in CFTs in arbitrary dimensions (d ≥ 3). Using analytic conformal bootstrap methods, we show that the anomalous dimensions are universal in the limit ` τ 1. In the course of the derivation, we extract an approximate closed form expression for the conformal blocks arising in the four po...

No Forbidden Landscape in String/M-theory

Scale invariant but non-conformal field theories are forbidden in (1 + 1) dimension, and so should be the corresponding holographic dual gravity theories. We conjecture that such scale invariant but non-conformal field configurations do not exist in the string/M-theory. We provide a proof of this conjecture in the classical supergravity limit. Our proof does also apply in higher dimensional sca...

Holography and Defect Conformal Field Theories

We develop both the gravity and field theory sides of the Karch-Randall conjecture that the near-horizon description of a certain D5-D3 brane configuration in string theory, realized as AdS5×S bisected by an AdS4×S “brane”, is dual to N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory in R coupled to an R3 defect. We propose a complete Lagrangian for the field theory dual, a novel “defect superconformal field theor...
