Glueballs and AdS/CFT
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the calculation of the glueball spectrum in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (in 3 and 4 dimensions) using the conjectured duality between supergravity and large N gauge theories. The glueball masses are obtained by solving the supergravity wave equations in a black hole geometry. The masses obtained this way are in unexpectedly good agreement with the available lattice data, and are much better than strong-coupling expansion results. I also show how to use a modified version of the duality to calculate the glueball mass spectrum with some of the Kaluza-Klein states of the supergravity theory decoupled from the spectrum.

On Theta Dependence of Glueballs from AdS/CFT
We study the theta dependence of the glueball spectrum in a strongly coupled cousin of large N gluodynamics defined via the AdS/CFT correspondence. By explicitly diagonalizing the 10d gravity equations in the presence of the RR 3-form and 1-form fluxes we found a mixing pattern for the lowestspin lightest glueballs. The mixing between the scalar and pseudoscalar states is not suppressed, sugges...
متن کاملConfinement, Glueballs and Strings from Deformed AdS
e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] We study aspects of confinement in two deformed versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence the GPPZ dual of N = 1 Yang Mills, and the Yang Mills N = 0 dual. Both geometries describe discrete glueball spectra which we calculate numerically. The results agree at the 10% level with previo...
متن کاملOrbiting Strings in AdS Black Holes and N = 4 SYM at Finite Temperature
Following Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov [hep-th/0204051], we study strings in AdS black hole backgrounds. With respect to the pure AdS case, rotating strings are replaced by orbiting strings. We interpret these orbiting strings as CFT states of large spin similar to glueballs propagating through a gluon plasma. The energy and the spin of the orbiting string configurations are associated with th...

Physical consistency of quantum fields in anti-de Sitter space time requires that the space must be compactified by the inclusion of a boundary where appropriate conditions are imposed. An interpretation for the presence of this boundary is found taking AdS as a limiting case of the space generated by a large number of coincident branes. The compactification of AdS leads to a discretization of ...

In this research we have studied the Brownian motion of a heavy particle in thermalized plasma. This plasma is made of quarks and gluons and it is different with normal plasma. Since, coupling constant is strong in this plasma, usual perturbation method does not work for the study of this plasma. For this purpose AdS/CFT duality is used. Based on the AdS/CFT duality to consider temperature...
متن کاملیادداشتی 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...
