چکیده

We discuss the scalar propagator on generic AdSd+1 × S ′+1 backgrounds. For the conformally flat situations and masses corresponding to Weyl invariant actions, the propagator is powerlike in the sum of the chordal distances with respect to AdSd+1 and S d′+1. In these cases we analyze its source structure. In all other cases the propagator depends on both chordal distances separately. There an explicit formula is found for certain special mass values. For pure AdS we show how the well known propagators in the Weyl invariant case can be expressed as linear combinations of simple powers of the chordal distance. For AdS5 × S we relate our propagator to the expression in the plane wave limit and find a geometric interpretation of the variables occurring in the known explicit construction on the plane wave. As a byproduct of comparing different techniques, including the KK mode summation, a theorem for summing certain products of Legendre and Gegenbauer functions is derived.

Comments on the scalar propagator in AdS × S and the BMN plane wave

We discuss the scalar propagator on generic AdS d+1 ×S d ′ +1 backgrounds. For the conformally flat situations and masses corresponding to Weyl invariant actions the propagator is powerlike in the sum of the chordal distances with respect to AdS d+1 and S d ′ +1. In all other cases the propagator depends on both chordal distances separately. We discuss the KK mode summation to construct the pro...

Aspects of Noncommutativity and Holography in Field Theory and String Theory

This thesis addresses two topics: noncommutative Yang-Mills theories and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Noncommutative Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary gauge groups have been defined as a power expansion in the noncommutativity parameter θ, circumventing the a priori restriction to U(N) groups. We study a partial summation of this θ-expanded perturbation theory. We review the Seiberg-Witten map ...

Scalar propagator in the pp - wave geometry obtained from AdS 5 × S 5

We compute the propagator for massless and massive scalar fields in the metric of the pp-wave. The retarded propagator for the massless field is found to stay confined to the surface formed by null geodesics. The algebraic form of the massive propagator is found to be related in a simple way to the form of the propagator in flat spacetime. [email protected] [email protected]...
