A dilatonic deformation ofAdS5and its field theory dual

Dilatonic Deformation of AdS 5 and its Field Theory Dual

We find a nonsupersymmetric dilatonic deformation of AdS5 geometry as an exact nonsingular solution of the type IIB supergravity. The dual gauge theory has a different Yang-Mills coupling in each of the two halves of the boundary spacetime divided by a codimension one defect. We discuss the geometry of our solution in detail, emphasizing the structure of the boundary, and also study the string ...

A Deformation Theory of Self-Dual Einstein Spaces

The self-dual Einstein equations on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold can be expressed as a quadratic condition on the curvature of an SU(2) (spin) connection which is a covariant generalization of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations. Local properties of the moduli space of self-dual Einstein connections are described in the context of an elliptic complex which arises in the linearization of the q...

Perturbative Algebraic Field Theory, and Deformation Quantization

A perturbative formulation of algebraic field theory is presented, both for the classical and for the quantum case, and it is shown that the relation between them may be understood in terms of deformation quantization.
