SO ( 2 , d - 1 ) Gauge Theory of Gravity in d Dimensional Spacetime and AdS d / CFT d − 1 Correspondence

چکیده

Gravity in d dimensions is formulated as the gauge theory of local SO(2,d-1) gauge group. The Chern-Pontryagin index P2n plays a crucial role in both gravity and gauge theories. P2n(gravity) gives the gravitational Lagrangian in 2n dimensions, having the vacuum solution AdS2n. The same but global symmetry is shared with the gauge theories and 0,1-cochains of the Chern-Simon index C2n(gauge) take part of CFT2n−1 and CFT2n−2, respectively. Gravity in odd dimensions is quite analogously formulated to that in even dimensions. This gives new insights on AdS/CFT correspondence.

Conformal anomaly from dS / CFT correspondence

In frames of dS/CFT correspondence suggested by Strominger we calculate holographic conformal anomaly for dual euclidean CFT. The holographic renormalization group method is used for this purpose. It is explicitly demonstrated that two-dimensional and four-dimensional conformal anomalies (or corresponding central charges) have the same form as those obtained in AdS/CFT duality.

Investigation of k-string energy using the gauge/gravity correspondence

The AdS/CFT correspondence, or in a more general sense, the gauge/gravity correspondence, is a duality between a string theory or gravity defined on one space and a gauge theory living on the conformal boundary of the same space. The AdS/CFT correspondence has drawn a tremendous amount of attention since the late 1990’s. After all, it sounds so promising and exciting to connect two drastically ...

یادداشتی بر دوگانی AdS/CFT

We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...

Baryon vertices in AdS black hole backgrounds

Although string theory was originally constructed for the purpose of describing the behavior of quarks in hadrons, it has been developed for long time independently of hadron physics as a possible form for a theory unifying gravity and other interactions, because it can be formulated only in 10 or 26 spacetime dimensions, and spin 2 massless particles arise naturally. The scale of the fundament...
