Free Field Theory as a String Theory?
An approach to systematically implement open-closed string duality for free large N gauge theories is summarised. We show how the relevant closed string moduli space emerges from a reorganisation of the Feynman diagrams contributing to free field correlators. We also indicate why the resulting integrand on moduli space has the right features to be that of a string theory on AdS.
متن کاملCubic Free Field Theory
We point out the existence of a class of non-Gaussian yet free “quantum field theories” in 0+0 dimensions, based on a cubic action classified by simple Lie groups. A “three-pronged” version of the Wick theorem applies. (LPTHE-P03-01, hep-th/0302043) With the exception of a few integrable models in low dimension, much of what we know of quantum field theory relies on perturbation around a free t...
متن کاملGaussian free field and conformal field theory
In these mostly expository lectures, we give an elementary introduction to conformal field theory in the context of probability theory and complex analysis. We consider statistical fields, and define Ward functionals in terms of their Lie derivatives. Based on this approach, we explain some equations of conformal field theory and outline their relation to SLE theory.
متن کاملIntroduction to Conformal Field Theory Fall Semester – 2006
Conformal Field Theory (CFT) lies at the foundation of many developments in mathematical physics in the past decades. The aim of this course is to give a basic and very mathematical introduction to elementary CFT. One of the historical origins of this field is Polyakov’s idea in the late 60’s that CFT’s could be used to describe critical phenomena in the thermodynamic limits of various statisti...
متن کاملCausal Properties of Free String Field Theory
dσ(δX(σ)) < 0. Of more direct physical interest is the commutator of finite mass fields, obtained by smearing the string fields with appropriate wave functions. This is shown to vanish at spacelike separations, reproducing the usual point particle field theory result. The implications of this for the information spreading mechanism proposed by Susskind to solve the black hole information proble...
