allows to write the linearized equations of motion around th e AdS background (12) as follows. |

A mode annihilated by DM(DL) [DR]{(DL)2but not by DL}is called massive (left-moving) |
[right-moving] {logarithmic }and is denoted by ψM(ψL) [ψR]{ψlog}. Away from the chiral |
point,µℓ∝ne}ationslash= 1, the general solution to the linearized equations of moti on (20) is obtained from |
linearly combining left, right and massive modes [17]. At th e chiral point DMdegenerates with |
DLand the general solution to the linearized equations of moti on (20) is obtained from linearly |
combining left, right and logarithmic modes [18]. Interest ingly, we discovered in [18] that the |

If we define naturally the Hamiltonian by H=L0+¯L0and the angular momentum by |
J=L0−¯L0we recover exactly (2) and (3), which suggests that the CFT du al to CCTMG |
(if it exists) is logarithmic, as conjectured in [18]. It was further shown with Jackiw that the |
existence of the logarithmic excitations ψlogis not an artifact of the linearized approach, but |
persists in the full theory [19]. |
Thus, also the sixth wish is granted in CCTMG. The rest of this section discusses the last |
wish. |
4.3. Growing logs |
We assume now that there is a standard AdS/CFT dictionary [6] available for LCFTs and check |
if CCTMG indeed leads to the correct 2- and 3-point correlato rs. To this end we have to identify |
the sources jithat appear on the right hand side of the correlator equation (10). Following the |
standard AdS/CFT prescription the sources for the operator sOL(OR) [Olog] are given by left |
(right) [logarithmic] non-normalizablesolutions tothel inearized equations of motion (20). Thus, |
our first task is to find all solutions of the linearized equati ons of motion and to classify them |
into normalizable and non-normalizable ones, where “norma lizable” refers to asymptotic (large |
ρ) behavior that is exponentially suppressed as compared to t he AdS background (12). |
A construction of all normalizable left and right solutions was provided in [17], and the |
normalizable logarithmic solutions were constructed in [1 8].3The non-normalizable solutions |
were constructed in [25]. It turned out to be convenient to wo rk in momentum space |
ψL/R/log |
µν(h,¯h) =e−ih(t+φ)−i¯h(t−φ)FL/R/log |
µν(ρ) (23) |
The momenta h,¯hare called “weights”. All components of the tensor Fµνare determined |
algebraically, except for one that is determined from a seco nd order (hypergeometric) differential |
equation. Ingeneral oneofthelinearcombinations of theso lutionsis singularattheorigin ρ= 0, |
whiletheother isregular there. We keep onlyregular soluti ons. For each given set ofweights h,¯h |
the regular solution is either normalizable or non-normali zable. It turns out that normalizable |
solutions exist for integer weights h≥2,¯h≥0 (orh≤ −2,¯h≤0). All other solutions are |
non-normalizable. |
An example for a normalizable left mode is given by the primar y with weights h= 2,¯h= 0 |

µν(24) |
Note that all components of this mode behave asymptotically (ρ→ ∞) at most like a constant. |
The corresponding logarithmic mode is given by |
ψlog |
µν(2,0) =−1 |
2(i(u+v)+lncosh2ρ)ψL |
µν(2,0) (25) |
Evidently, it behaves asymptotically like its left partner (24), except for overall linear growth in |
ρ. It is also worthwhile emphasizing that the logarithmic mod e (25) depends linearly on time |
3All these modes are compatible with asymptotic AdS behavior [20,21], and they appear in vacuum expectation |
values of 1-point functions. Indeed, the 1-point function /angbracketleftTij/angbracketrightinvolves both ψlogandψR[21–24].t= (u+v)/2. Both features are inherent to all logarithmic modes. All o ther normalizable |
modes can be constructed from the primaries (24), (25) algeb raically. |
