Duality in linearized gravity and holography

چکیده

We consider spherical gravitational perturbations of AdS4 space-time satisfying general boundary conditions at spatial infinity. Using the holographic renormalization method, we compute the energy-momentum tensor and show that it can always be cast in the form of Cotton tensor for a dual boundary metric. In particular, axial and polar perturbations obeying the same boundary conditions for the effective Schrödinger wave-functions exhibit an energy-momentum/Cotton tensor duality at conformal infinity. We demonstrate explicitly that this is holographic manifestation of the electric/magnetic duality of linearized gravity in the bulk, which simply exchanges axial with polar perturbations of AdS4 space-time. We note on the side that this particular realization of gravitational duality is also valid for perturbations near flat and dS4 space-time, depending on the value of cosmological constant.

Gravitational Duality Transformations on (A)dS4

We discuss the implementation of electric-magnetic duality transformations in fourdimensional gravity linearized around Minkowski or (A)dS4 backgrounds. In the presence of a cosmological constant duality generically modifies the Hamiltonian, nevertheless the bulk dynamics is unchanged. We pay particular attention to the boundary terms generated by the duality transformations and discuss their i...

S-duality for Linearized Gravity

We develope the analogue of S-duality for linearized gravity in (3+1)-dimensions. Our basic idea is to consider the self-dual (anti-self-dual) curvature tensor for linearized gravity in the context of the Macdowell-Mansouri formalism. We find that the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity is an exact symmetry and implies small-large duality for the cosmological constant. Pacs numb...

Entanglement in Gauge / Gravity Duality

In this thesis, we present studies that elucidate the relationship between entanglement in strongly coupled gauge theories and the geometry of their gravity duals. In the first, we find that in a certain class of time-dependent states which have a gravity dual in which a black hole forms, the entanglement entropy of large regions grows linearly in time, following the growth of certain time-like...

Issues of Duality in Abelian Gauge Theory and in Linearized Gravity

We start by describing two of the main proposals for duality in Abelian gauge theories, namely F (ield strength)-duality approach and the S-duality formalism. We then discuss how F -duality and S-duality can be applied to the case of linearized gravity. By emphasizing the similarities and differences between these two type of dualities we explore the possibility of combining them in just one du...

Holography and Emergent 4D Gravity

I review recent work toward constructing, via five-dimensional holographic duals, fourdimensional theories in which spin-2 states (gravitons) are emergent. The basic idea is to extend to gravity model-building the applications of holographic duality to phenomenology construction.
