Description
Holography is a novel mapping between strongly coupled quantum systems and semi-classical gravity theories. There are many holographic systems which have been carefully studied at the level of one-point functions, but have not had a detailed spectral analysis performed. This project proposes to carefully calculate Green's functions for conserved currents in various holographic states, focusing on those with non-trivial subsets of the conformal group preserved. These results could then be compared to comparable results in free field theories, where such exist.
