Super Galilean conformal algebra in AdS/CFT

چکیده
Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) is an Inönü-Wigner (IW) contraction of a conformal algebra, while Newton-Hooke string algebra is an IW contraction of an AdS algebra which is the isometry of an AdS space. It is shown that the GCA is a boundary realization of the Newton-Hooke string algebra in the bulk AdS. The string lies along the direction transverse to the boundary, and the worldsheet is AdS2. The one-dimensional conformal symmetry so(2,1) and rotational symmetry so(d) contained in the GCA are realized as the symmetry on the AdS2 string worldsheet and rotational symmetry in the space transverse to the AdS2 in AdSd+2, respectively. It follows from this correspondence that 32 supersymmetric GCAs can be derived as IW contractions of superconformal algebras, psu(2, 2|4), osp(8|4) and osp(8|4). We also derive less supersymmetric GCAs from su(2, 2|2), osp(4|4), osp(2|4) and osp(8|2).

Galilean Conformal Algebras and AdS/CFT
Non-relativistic versions of the AdS/CFT conjecture have recently been investigated in some detail. These have primarily been in the context of the Schrodinger symmetry group. Here we initiate a study based on a different nonrelativistic conformal symmetry: one obtained by a parametric contraction of the relativistic conformal group. The resulting Galilean conformal symmetry has the same number...

The AdS/CFT transformation relates two nonlinear realizations of (super)conformal groups: their realization in the appropriate field theories in Minkowski space with a Goldstone dilaton field and their realization as (super)isometry groups of AdS (super)spaces. It exists already at the classical level and maps the field variables and space-time coordinates of the given (super)conformal field th...
متن کاملSuper Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Anomalies of N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the supercon...
متن کاملSuperconformal Anomaly from Ads/cft Correspondence †
For a classical superconformal gauge theory in a conformal supergravity background, its chiral R-symmetry anomaly, Weyl anomaly and super-Weyl anomaly constitute a supermultiplet. We review how these anomalies arise from the five-dimensional gauged supergravity in terms of the AdS/CFT correspondence at the gravity level. The holographic production of this full superconformal anomaly multiplet p...
متن کاملAdS/CFT Correspondence And Topological Field Theory
In N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory on a four-manifold M , one can specify a discrete magnetic flux valued in H 2 (M, Z N). This flux is encoded in the AdS/CFT correspondence in terms of a five-dimensional topological field theory with Chern-Simons action. A similar topological field theory in seven dimensions governs the space of " conformal blocks " of the six-dimensional (0, 2) conformal field ...
