Discontinuities of free theories on AdS 2

Abstract The partition functions of free bosons as well as fermions on AdS 2 are not smooth as a function of their masses. For free bosons, the partition function on AdS 2 is not smooth when the mass saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. We show that the expectation value of the scalar bilinea...
