The AdS–conformal field theory correspondence provides information about the strong coupling behavior of some conformal field theories by studying their supergravity ~string! duals @1–4#. In particular, the AdS-CFT duality relates type IIB string theory on AdS33S 3M, where M is either K3 or T, to a certain N5(4,4) supersymmetric twodimensional conformal field theory ~CFT! living on the boundary...

In frames of dS/CFT correspondence suggested by Strominger we calculate holographic conformal anomaly for dual euclidean CFT. The holographic renormalization group method is used for this purpose. It is explicitly demonstrated that two-dimensional and four-dimensional conformal anomalies (or corresponding central charges) have the same form as those obtained in AdS/CFT duality.

In this study, 241 serum samples from individuals exposed to brucellosis were subjected to the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT); the titre was estimated by standard tube agglutination test (STAT), with positive > or = 80 IU/ml. Randomly selected sera (n = 81) were analysed by complement fixation test (CFT): titre > or = 1:4 was considered positive. Of 241 sera subjected to RBPT and STAT, 177 were ...

OBJECTIVES Compassion focused therapy (CFT) was developed to stimulate capacities for soothing and affiliation to self and others as a way to regulate the threat system. This feasibility study aimed to assess the safety, the acceptability, the potential benefits, and associated change processes of using group CFT with people recovering from psychosis. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, open-la...

We investigate the AdS 3 /CFT 2 correspondence for the Euclidean AdS 3 space compactified on a solid torus with the CFT field on the regularizing boundary surface in the bulk. Correlation functions corresponding to the bulk theory at finite temperature tend to the standard CFT correlation functions in the limit of removed regularization. In both regular and Z N orbifold cases, in the sum over g...
