abstract
We consider scalar QED with $N_f$ flavors in AdS$_D$. For $D<4$ the theory is strongly-coupled in the IR. We use the spin 1 spectral representation to compute and efficiently resum the bubble diagram in AdS, in order to obtain the exact propagator of the photon at large $N_f$. We then apply this result to compute the boundary four-point function of the charged operators at leading order in $1/N_f$ and exactly in the coupling, both in the Coulomb and in the Higgs phase. In the first case a conserved current is exchanged in the four-point function, while in the second case the current is absent and there is a pattern of double-trace scaling dimension analogous to a resonance in flat space. We also consider the BCFT data associated to the critical point with bulk conformal symmetry separating the two phases. Both in ordinary perturbation theory and at large $N_f$, in integer dimension $D= 3$ an IR divergence breaks the conformal symmetry on the boundary by inducing a boundary RG flow in a current-current operator.

QFT as a set of ODEs: higher dimensions
The authors generalize the AdS₂ flow equations for QFT data to AdS₃ and AdS₄, add crossing-based closure and Padé-accelerated sums, and verify them in free theories.

Conformal QED in AdS as a BCFT
In conformal QED on AdS_d, the Dirichlet boundary condition's second lightest scalar becomes marginal for 3<d<4, indicating the Dirichlet BCFT is unstable at d=3, whereas the Neumann BCFT remains stable.

Neumann scalars in AdS: partition functions and phases
Neumann scalars in AdS admit one-loop partition functions obtained by contour deformation from the Dirichlet result; the stricter unitarity bound then yields qualitatively different phase diagrams that are corroborate...

Bulk-to-bulk photon propagator in AdS
The bulk-to-bulk photon propagator in Euclidean AdS is derived in axial, Coulomb and covariant gauges, with the simplest position-space form in the Fried–Yennie gauge ξ=d/(d−2).

Li\'enard--Wiechert fields in AdS and flat-space antipodal matching from geodesic-centered Coulombic data
The Coulombic Liénard–Wiechert field in AdS and flat space is obtained by recentering the static Coulomb seed on the source geodesic, and antipodal matching emerges as the flat-space limit of an exact bulk antipodal c...

Chern-Simons propagators in AdS$_3$
New parity-odd AdS3 spin-1 harmonics and the Chern-Simons operator relating them to parity-even ones yield explicit spectral and split representations for abelian Chern-Simons propagators.
