We perform a holographic renormalization of gravity duals to little string theories. In particular, we construct counterterms which yield a well-defined type II action for NS-sector linear dilaton backgrounds. Our methods are based on a similar recent construction in asymptotically flat spacetimes, and our work demonstrates in detail the parallels between asymptotically flat and linear dilaton boundary conditions. The counterterms guarantee that (i) the on-shell action is finite and (ii) asymptotically linear dilaton solutions are stationary points of the action under all boundary condition preserving variations. We use the resulting action to compute a boundary stress tensor and the associated conserved charges.

  1. Little String Theories on Curved Manifolds

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Little string theory cannot be put on negatively curved spacetimes, only on flat or positively curved ones, and on spheres its Hagedorn spectrum receives a universal classical correction.

  2. The On-shell Gravity Action and Linear Dilaton Holography

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Euclidean on-shell action for linear-dilaton three-dimensional string backgrounds yields a spacetime mass whose square-root form matches the TT-deformed CFT energy formula.
