`Double-trace' deformations, boundary conditions and spacetime singularities
TLDR
In this article, a perturbation expansion for string theory based on a non-local worldsheet was proposed, where double-trace deformations of the AdS/CFT duality result in new perturbations.Abstract:Â
Double-trace deformations of the AdS/CFT duality result in a new perturbation expansion for string theory, based on a non-local worldsheet. We discuss some aspects of the deformation in the low energy gravity approximation, where it appears as a change in the boundary condition of fields. We relate unique features of the boundary of AdS to the worldsheet becoming non-local, and conjecture that non-local worldsheet actions may be generic in other classes of backgrounds.read more

AdS dual of the critical O(N) vector model
TL;DR: In this article, a general relation between theories of infinite number of higher-spin massless gauge fields in AdS d + 1 and large N conformal theories in d dimensions containing N -component vector fields was proposed.

An AdS_3 Dual for Minimal Model CFTs
TL;DR: In this paper, a duality between the 2d conformal field theories and higher spin theories on the large $N$ 't Hooft limit was proposed. But the duality was not proved for the Singlet sector of large vector models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that embedding the interior Hilbert space of an old black hole into the early radiation is inconsistent, and that the semi-classical interior of an AdS black hole can be embedded into any dual CFT Hilbert space.

SL(2;Z) Action On Three-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories With Abelian Symmetry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that in three-dimensional conformal field theories with U(1) symmetry and a chosen coupling to a background gauge field, there is a natural action of the group $SL(2,{\bf Z})$.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.
