Anomalous conformal currents, shadow fields, and massive AdS fields

Anomalous Global Currents and Compensating Fields in the BV Formalism

We compute the anomalous divergence of currents associated with global transformations in the antifield formalism, by introducing compensating fields that gauge these transformations. We consider the explicit case of the global axial current in QCD but the method applies to any global transformation of the fields.

Conformal Bulk Fields

We consider in the Randall-Sundrum scenario the dynamics of a spherically symmetric 3-brane world when matter fields exist in the bulk. We determine exact 5-dimensional solutions which localize gravity near the brane and describe the dynamics of homogeneous polytropic matter on the brane. We show that these geometries are associated with a well defined conformal class of bulk matter fields. We ...

Diffeomorphism group and conformal fields

Conformal fields are a new class of V ect(N) modules which are more general than tensor fields. The corresponding diffeomorphism group action is constructed. Conformal fields are thus invariantly defined. PACS numbers: 02.20, 02.40

Shadow Fields for Deformable Objects

1 N ov 1 99 8 Correlators of currents corresponding to the massive p - form fields in AdS / CFT correspondence

By solving the equations of motion of massive p-form potential in Anti-de-Sitter space and using the AdS/CF T correspondence of Maldacena, the generating functional of two-point correlation functions of the currents is obtained. When the mass parameter vanishes the result agrees with the known massless case.
