Superconformal Field Theory
We discuss the large N limit of the (2, 0) field theory in six dimensions. We do this by assuming the validity of Maldacena’s conjecture of the correspondence between large N gauge theories and supergravity backgrounds, here AdS7 × S4. We review the spectrum of the supergravity theory and compute the spectrum of primary operators of the conformal algebra of arbitrary spin. U.S. Department of En...
متن کاملTopological field theory and computing with instantons
Chern-Simons topological field theories (TFTs) [1, 2] are the only TFTs that have already found application in the description of some exotic strongly-correlated electron systems and the corresponding concept of topological quantum computing [1, 3]. Here, we show that TFTs of another type, specifically the gauge-field-less Witten-type TFTs known as topological sigma models [4], describe the rec...
متن کاملMatrix String Theory, 2D SYM Instantons and affine Toda systems
Extending a recent result of S.B. Giddings, F. Hacquebord and H. Verlinde, we show that in the U(N) SYM Matrix theory there exist classical BPS instantons which interpolate between different closed string configurations via joining/splitting interactions similar to those of string field theory. We construct them starting from branched coverings of Riemann surfaces. For the class of them which w...
متن کاملAdS3 Gravitational Instantons from Conformal Field Theory
A conformal field theory on the boundary of three-dimensional asymptotic anti-de Sitter spaces which appear as near horizon geometry of D-brane bound states is discussed. It is shown that partition functions of gravitational instantons appear as high and low temperature limits of the partition function of the conformal field theory. The result reproduces phase transition between the anti-de Sit...
متن کاملOn Field Theory Quantization around Instantons
With the perspective of looking for experimentally detectable physical applications of the socalled topological embedding, a procedure recently proposed by the author for quantizing a field theory around a non-discrete space of classical minima (instantons, for example), the physical implications are discussed in a “theoretical” framework, the ideas are collected in a simple logical scheme and ...
