Universality and a generalized C-function in CFTs with AdS Duals
We argue that the thermodynamics of conformal field theories with AdS duals exhibits a remarkable universality. At strong coupling, a Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula holds even when R-charges or bulk supergravity scalars are turned on. In such a setting, the Casimir entropy can be identified with a generalized C-function that changes monotonically with temperature as well as when non-trivial bul...
متن کاملFamilies of IIB duals for nonrelativistic CFTs
We show that the recent string theory embedding of a spacetime with nonrelativistic Schrödinger symmetry can be generalised to a twenty one dimensional family of solutions with that symmetry. Our solutions include IIB backgrounds with no three form flux turned on, and arise as near horizon limits of branewave spacetimes. We show that there is a hypersurface in the space of these theories where ...
متن کاملGravity duals for non-relativistic CFTs
We attempt to generalize the AdS/CFT correspondence to non-relativistic conformal field theories which are invariant under Galilean transformations. Such systems govern ultracold atoms at unitarity, nucleon scattering in some channels, and more generally, a family of universality classes of quantum critical behavior. We construct a family of metrics which realize these symmetries as isometries....
متن کامل3-D INTERACTING CFTs AND GENERALIZED HIGGS PHENOMENON IN HIGHER SPIN THEORIES ON AdS
We study a duality, recently conjectured by Klebanov and Polyakov, between higher-spin theories on AdS4 and O(N) vector models in 3-d. These theories are free in the UV and interacting in the IR. At the UV fixed point, the O(N) model has an infinite number of higher-spin conserved currents. In the IR, these currents are no longer conserved for spin s > 2. In this paper, we show that the dual in...
متن کاملEntropy bounds, monotonicity properties and scaling in CFTs
We study the ratio of the entropy to the total energy in conformal field theories at finite temperature. For the free field realizations of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in D = 4 and the (2, 0) tensor multiplet in D = 6, the ratio is bounded from above. The corresponding bounds are less stringent than the recently proposed Verlinde bound. We show that entropy bounds arise generically in CFTs in...
