A bstractDouble trace deformations, that is products of two local operators, define perturbations of conformal field theories that can be studied exactly in the large-N limit. Even when the double trace deformation is irrelevant in the infrared, it is believed to flow to an ultraviolet fixed point. In this note we define the Källen-Lehmann representation of the two-point function of a local operator O in a theory perturbed by the square of such operator. We use such representation to discover…

Abstract We consider the problem of defining spacelike-supported boundary-to-bulk propagators in AdS d+1 down to the unitary bound ∆ = (d − 2)/2. That is to say, we construct the ‘smearing
