Construction of bosonic string theory on infinitely curved Anti-de Sitter space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free scalar field theory in the sector with a large number of particles can be interpreted as bosonic string theory on anti-de Sitter space of vanishing radius. Different ways of writing the field theory Hamiltonian translate to different ways of reparametrizing the world-sheet σ coordinate. Adding a mass term in the field theory corresponds to cutting off the warped AdS direction, with cut-off inversely proportional to the mass. The string theory has neither tachyon, nor critical dimension. ∗ [email protected] † [email protected] ‡ [email protected] § [email protected]

The critical dimension of bosonic string theory in AdS space-time
The Polyakov bosonic string is quantised in Euclidean Anti-de Sitter space-time using functional methods. Regularisation of the functional determinants using both heat-kernel and zeta function techniques shows that the AdSD+1 string reduces to the Liouville field theory, as in the flat space-time case. A Feynman graph expansion is used to evaluate (approximately) the coefficient multiplying the...
متن کاملLightcone Quantization of String Theory Duals of Free Field Theories
We quantize in light cone gauge the bosonic sector of string theory on Anti-de Sitter space in the zero curvature radius limit. We find that the worldsheet falls apart into a theory of free partons and map the Hilbert space of the string theory to the Hilbert space of a free scalar in light-front description. We outline how the string worldsheet reproduces the field theory at weak coupling.

متن کاملNew classes of exact multistring solutions in curved spacetimes.
We find new classes of exact string solutions in a variety of curved backgrounds. They include stationary and dynamical (open, closed, straight, finitely and infinitely long) strings as well as multi-string solutions, in terms of elliptic functions. The physical properties, string length, energy and pressure are computed and analyzed. In anti de Sitter spacetime, the solutions describe an infin...
