Thermal correlation functions in CFT and factorization

Abstract We study 2-point and 3-point functions in CFT at finite temperature for large dimension operators using holography. The 2-point function leads to a universal formula for the holographic free energy in d dimensions in terms of the c-anomaly coefficient. By including α′ corrections to the bla...
