More Holography from Conformal Field Theory

Heemskerk, Idse, Sully, James

Understand

We extend the work of [4] to support the conjecture that any conformal field theory with a large N expansion and a large gap in the spectrum of anomalous dimensions has a local bulk dual.

  • We count to O(1/N^2) the solutions to the crossing constraints in conformal field theory for a completely general scalar four-point function and show that, to this order, the counting matches the number of independent interactions in a general scalar theory on Anti-de Sitter space.
  • We introduce parity odd conformal blocks for this purpose.
