Codimension-two holography for wedges
Ibrahim Akal, Yuya Kusuki, Tadashi Takayanagi, Zixia Wei
Abstract
The authors propose a holographic duality between a gravitational theory on a $d+1$ dimensional wedge spacetime and a $d\ensuremath{-}1$ dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), which lives on the corner of the wedge. This is a generalization of the usual AdS/CFT duality. For certain particular cases, the authors check the duality by computing the free energy, entanglement entropy and correlation functions of the dual CFTs from gravity.
