Generalized free fields and the AdS-CFT correspondence
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivated by structural issues in the AdS-CFT correspondence, the theory of generalized free fields is reconsidered. A stress-energy tensor for the generalized free field is constructed as a limit of Wightman fields. Although this limit is singular, it fulfils the requirements of a conserved local density for the Poincaré generators. An explicit “holographic” formula relating the Klein-Gordon field on AdS to generalized free fields on Minkowski space-time is provided, and contrasted with the “algebraic” notion of holography. A simple relation between the singular stress-energy tensor and the canonical AdS stress-energy tensor is exhibited. PACS 2001: 11.10.-z, 04.62.+v MSC 2000: 81T05, 81T10, 81T20

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...
متن کاملAdS / CFT correspondence in cosmology
The attempt to understand if AdS/CFT correspondence may be realized as the one between some AdS-like cosmological space and CFT living on the boundary is made. In order to obtain such cosmology we exchange the time and radial coordinates in d5 Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter (S-AdS) BH (with corresponding signature change). The test on proportionality of free energies from such d5 cosmological spa...
متن کاملIntroduction to the AdS / CFT Correspondence
This is a thesis of the Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces MSc at Imperial College London, introducing the ADS/CFT correspondence, focused on the duality between N = 4, d = 4 Superconformal Yang Miils theory and string theory on an AdS5×S background.
متن کاملBoundary terms in the AdS/CFT correspondence for spinor fields
The requirement that the action be stationary for solutions of the Dirac equations in anti-de Sitter space with a definite asymptotic behaviour is shown to fix the boundary term (with its coefficient) that must be added to the standard Dirac action in the AdS/CFT correspondence for spinor fields.
متن کاملIdentities between Quantum Field Theories in Different Dimensions
Review of some old and relatively new ideas surrounding the subject of AdS/CFT correspondence, generalized tau-functions and possible equivalences between a priori different quantum field theories. This talk is motivated by the recent discussions around the subject of the " ADS/CFT correspondence " , discovered in [1] and reformulated in [2], [3]. In [3] the issue was actually reduced to the pr...
