A Note on Multi-trace Deformations and AdS/CFT
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive the general formula, at a finite cutoff, for the change in the boundary condition of a scalar field in AdS under a Multiple-trace deformation of the dual CFT. Our analysis suggests that fluctuations around the classical solution in AdS should not be constrained by boundary conditions.

Boundary multi-trace deformations and OPEs in AdS/CFT correspondence
We argue that multi-trace deformations of the boundary CFT in AdS/CFT correspondence can arise through the OPE of single-trace operators. We work out the example of a scalar field in AdS5 with cubic self interaction. By an appropriate reparametrization of the boundary data we are able to deform the boundary CFT by a marginal operator that couples to the conformal anomaly. Our method can be used...
متن کاملMulti-Trace Deformations in AdS/CFT: Exploring the Vacuum Structure of the Deformed CFT
We present a general and systematic treatment of multi-trace deformations in the AdS/CFT correspondence in the large N limit, pointing out and clarifying subtleties relating to the formulation of the boundary value problem on a conformal boundary. We then apply this method to study multi-trace deformations in the presence of a scalar VEV, which requires the coupling to gravity to be taken into ...
متن کاملDouble-Trace Deformations, Mixed Boundary Conditions and Functional Determinants in AdS/CFT
According to the AdS/CFT dictionary, perturbing the large N boundary theory by a relevant double-trace deformation of the form fO2 corresponds in the bulk to imposing “mixed” boundary conditions for the field dual to O. In this note we address various aspects of this correspondence. The change cUV − cIR of the central charge between the UV ad IR fixed points is known from explicit calculations ...
متن کاملD-Brane Potentials from Multi-Trace Deformations in AdS/CFT
It is known that certain AdS boundary conditions allow smooth initial data to evolve into a big crunch. To study this type of cosmological singularity, one can use the dual quantum field theory, where the non-standard boundary conditions are reflected by the presence of a multi-trace potential unbounded below. For specific AdS4 and AdS5 models, we provide a D-brane (or M-brane) interpretation o...
متن کامل“Double-trace” Deformations, Boundary Conditions and Spacetime Singularities
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 ...
