The Propagator for a General Form Field in Ads D+1 Typeset Using Revt E X 1

چکیده

Using the known propagator equations for 0,1 and 2 forms in AdSd+1, we find the p-form field propagator equations in dimensions where the forms are Poincaré dual. Since the general equation obeyed by the propagators is linear in dimension, this gives us the equation obeyed by the propagators for any d. Furthermore, based on the Poincaré duality formulas for 0,1,2 and 3 forms we conjecture the general form of the Poincaré duality formulas, and check them against the previously found propagator equations. The whole structure is self-consistent. Once we have the equations, we can easily obtain all the p-form field propagators in AdSd+1. The generalization to massive p-forms can be also easily done.

Pion Broadening and Low-mass Dilepton Production Typeset Using Revt E X 1

We determine mass and transverse momentum spectra of dileptons produced in Pb+Au (158 GeV/u) collisions within a pion annihilation model. A fit to the data requires simultaneous mass reduction and broadening of the in-medium rho propagator. The introduction of a finite pion width, as required within self-consistent approaches to the interacting pion gas, further improves the agreement with the ...

Nested Braneworlds and Strong Brane Gravity Typeset Using Revt E X

We find the gravitational field of a ‘nested’ domain wall living entirely within a brane-universe, or, a localised vortex within a wall. For a vortex living on a critical Randall-Sundrum brane universe, we show that the induced gravitational field on the brane is identical to that of an (n−1)-dimensional vacuum domain wall. We also describe how to set-up a nested Randall-Sundrum scenario using ...

Braneworld Instantons Typeset Using Revt E X

We derive the general equations of motion for a braneworld containing a (localized) domain wall. Euclideanization gives the geometry for braneworld false vacuum decay. We explicitly derive these instantons and compute the amplitude for false vacuum decay. We also show how to construct a toy ekpyrotic instanton. Finally, we comment on braneworlds with a compact spatial direction and the adS soli...

Why Odd-space and Odd-time Dimensions in Even-dimensional Spaces? * Typeset Using Revt E X * Nbi-he-00-26

We are answering the question why 4-dimensional space has the metric 1+ 3 by making a general argument from a certain type of equations of motion linear in momentum for any spin (except spin zero) in any even dimension d. All known free equations for non-zero spin for massless fields belong to this type of equations. Requiring Hermiticity1 of the equations of motion operator as well as irreduci...

The antisymmetric tensor propagator in AdS

In this brief note we construct the propagator for the antisymmetric tensor in AdSd+1. We check our result using the Poincaré duality between the antisymmetric tensor and the gauge boson in AdS5. This propagator was needed for a computation which turned out to be too hard. It can be used for computing various other things in AdS. Typeset using REVTEX
