Radial Dimensional Reduction: (anti) De Sitter Theories from Flat
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new form of dimensional reduction that constrains dilatation instead of a component of momentum. It corresponds to replacing toroidal compactification in a Cartesian coordinate with that in the logarithm of the radius. Massive theories in de Sitter or anti de Sitter space are thus produced from massless (scale invariant) theories in one higher space or time dimension. As an example, we derive free massive actions for arbitrary representations of the (anti) de Sitter group in arbitrary dimensions. (Previous general results were restricted to symmetric tensors.) We also discuss generalizations to interactions and gravity. [email protected] [email protected]

The Flat Limit of Three Dimensional Asymptotically Anti–de Sitter Spacetimes
In order to get a better understanding of holographic properties of gravitational theories with a vanishing cosmological constant, we analyze in detail the relation between asymptotically anti-de Sitter and asymptotically flat spacetimes in three dimensions. This relation is somewhat subtle because the limit of vanishing cosmological constant cannot be naively taken in standard Fefferman-Graham...
متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملSpacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
متن کاملEinstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton black holes in non-asymptotically flat spacetimes
We derive exact magnetically charged, static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions of the four-dimensional Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton gravity. These solutions are neither asymptotically flat nor (anti)-de Sitter. The properties of the solutions are discussed. It is shown that the black holes are stable against linear radial perturbations.
متن کاملFlat Conformal Structures and the Classification of De Sitter Manifolds
Given a compact n-manifold Σ with a flat conformal structure, there is a canonical procedure for constructing an associated (n + 1)-dimensional de Sitter spacetime homeomorphic to Σ× (0,∞); we call these standard de Sitter spacetimes. Our main theorem is a classification of compact de Sitter manifolds; it asserts that every de Sitter spacetime which is a small regular neighborhood of a closed s...
