Description
Standard arguments from the AdS/CFT duality sugggest that the AdS dual of a planar CFT at zero 't-Hooft coupling is a higher-spin or a tensionless string theory. We use CFT data to compute one-loop free energy in the AdS side, and discuss some interesting features of the results.  This is a summary of work with Euihun Joung, Jin-Beom Bae, Wenliang Li and Thomas Basile.
