On the Large N Limit of Conformal Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Following recent advances in largeN matrix mechanics, I discuss here the free (Cuntz) algebraic formulation of the large N limit of two-dimensional conformal field theories of chiral adjoint fermions and bosons. One of the central results is a new affine free algebra which describes a large N limit of su(N) affine Lie algebra. Other results include the associated free-algebraic partition functions and characters, a free-algebraic coset construction, free-algebraic construction of osp(1|2), free-algebraic vertex operator constructions in the large N Bose systems and a provocative new free-algebraic factorization of the ordinary Koba–Nielsen factor.

The Large N Limit of Superconformal field theories and supergravity
We show that the large N limit of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravity on the product of Anti-deSitter spacetimes, spheres and other compact manifolds. This is shown by taking some branes in the full M/string theory and then taking a low energy limit where the field theory on the brane decouples from the bulk. We ...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملOrbifolds of AdS5 × S5 and 4d Conformal Field Theories
We study the relation between the large N limit of four dimensional N = 2, 1, 0 conformal field theories and supergravity on orbifolds of AdS5×S. We analyze the the Kaluza-Klein states of the supergravity theory and relate them to the spectrum of (chiral) primary operators of the (super) conformal field theories. ∗email: [email protected] †email: [email protected]
متن کاملPP-waves and logarithmic conformal field theories
We provide a world-sheet interpretation to the plane wave limit of a large class of exact supergravity backgrounds in terms of logarithmic conformal field theories. As an illustrative example, we consider the two-dimensional conformal field theory of the coset model SU(2)N/U(1) times a free time-like boson U(1)−N , which admits a space-time interpretation as a three-dimensional plane wave solut...
متن کاملOpen strings in a pp-wave background from defect conformal field theory
Anti–de Sitter strings/conformal field theory ~AdS/CFT! correspondence @1–3# ~for a review, see @4#! has led to deep understandings of string theory and field theory. However, until recently, much of the progress in this direction has been limited to supergravity approximations due to the difficulty when one has a Ramond-Ramond ~RR! background. Recently, it has been shown that string theory can...
