Structure of Holographic BCFT Correlators from Geodesics
read the original abstract
We compute correlation functions, specifically 1-point and 2-point functions, in holographic boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) using geodesic approximation. The holographic model consists of a massive scalar field coupled to a Karch-Randall brane -- a rigid boundary in the bulk AdS space. Geodesic approximation requires the inclusion of paths reflecting off of this brane, which we show in detail. For the 1-point function, we find agreement between geodesic approximation and the harder $\Delta$-exact calculation, and we give a novel derivation of boundary entropy using the result. For the 2-point function, we find a factorization phase transition and a mysterious set of anomalous boundary-localized BCFT operators. We also discuss some puzzles concerning these operators.

Boundary conformal field theory, holography and bulk locality
One-loop bulk calculations in holographic BCFT with EOW brane yield scalar correlators whose analytic properties are incompatible with boundary conformal symmetry expectations.

Defects extremal surfaces and interface CFTs
A generalized defect-extremal-surface prescription for AdS3/ICFT2 is shown to match island-formula entropies in the large-tension limit and to produce Page curves for 2d eternal black holes.
