چکیده
The special properties of scalars having a mass such that the two possible dimensions of the dual scalar respect the unitarity and the BreitenlohnerFreedman bounds and their ratio is integral (“resonant scalars”) are studied in the AdS/CFT correspondence. The role of logarithmic branches in the gravity theory is related to the existence of a trace anomaly and to a marginal deformation in the Conformal Field Theory. The existence of asymptotic charges for the conformal group in the gravity theory is interpreted in terms of the properties of the corresponding CFT.

We compute the boundary stress-energies of time-dependent asymptotically AdS space-times in 5 and 7 dimensions, and find that their traces are equal to the respective 4 and 6 dimensional field-theoretic trace anomalies. This provides good supporting evidence in favour of the AdS/CFT correspondence in time-dependent backgrounds.

Following recent developments, we employ the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the drag force exerted on an external quark that moves through an N = 4 super-Yang-Mills plasma with a non-zero R-charge density (or, equivalently, a non-zero chemical potential). We find that the drag force is larger than in the case where the plasma is neutral.

The dS/CFT correspondence differs from its AdS/CFT counterpart in some ways, yet is strikingly similar to it in many others. For example, both involve CFTs defined on connected spaces (despite the fact that the conformal boundary of deSitter space is not connected), and both impose constraints on scalar masses (Strominger’s bound for deSitter, and the BreitenlohnerFreedman bound for Anti-deSitt...

The prescription of the AdS/CFT correspondence is refined by using a regularization procedure, which makes it possible to calculate the divergent local terms in the CFT two-point function. We present the procedure for the example of the scalar field. Email address: [email protected] Email address: [email protected]
