Towards a Worldsheet Derivation of the Maldacena Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
A U(2, 2|4)-invariant A-model constructed from fermionic superfields has recently been proposed as a sigma model for the superstring onAdS5×S. After explaining the relation of this A-model with the pure spinor formalism, the A-model action is expressed as a gauged linear sigma model. In the zero radius limit, the Coulomb branch of this sigma model is interpreted as D-brane holes which are related to gauge-invariant N = 4 d=4 super-YangMills operators. As in the worldsheet derivation of open-closed duality for Chern-Simons theory, this construction may lead to a worldsheet derivation of the Maldacena conjecture. Intriguing connections to the twistorial formulation of N = 4 Yang-Mills are also noted.

Towards testing the Maldacena Conjecture with SDLCQ
We consider the Maldacena conjecture applied to the near horizon geometry of a D1-brane in the supergravity approximation and present numerical results of a test of the conjecture against the boundary field theory calculation using supersymmetric discrete light-cone quantization (SDLCQ). We present numerical results with approximately 1000 times as many states as we previously considered. These...
متن کاملA New Limit of the AdS 5 × S 5 Sigma Model
Using the pure spinor formalism, a quantizable sigma model has been constructed for the superstring in an AdS5 × S 5 background with manifest PSU(2, 2|4) invariance. The PSU(2, 2|4) metric gAB has both vector components gab and spinor components gαβ, and in the limit where the spinor components gαβ are taken to infinity, the AdS5 × S 5 sigma model reduces to the worldsheet action in a flat back...

We consider the Maldacena conjecture applied to the near horizon geometry of a D1-brane in the supergravity approximation and present numerical results of a test of the conjecture against the boundary field theory calculation using DLCQ. We previously calculated the two-point function of the stress-energy tensor on the supergravity side; the methods of Gubser, Klebanov, Polyakov, and Witten wer...
متن کاملPlanar scattering amplitudes from Wilson loops
We derive an expression for parton scattering amplitudes of planar gauge theory in terms of sums of Wilson loops. We study in detail the example of Yang-Mills theory with an adjoint Higgs field. The expression exhibits the T-duality performed by Alday and Maldacena in the AdS dual as a Fourier transform in loop space. When combined with the AdS/CFT correspondence for Wilson loops and a strong c...
متن کاملOn the relation of Matrix theory and Maldacena conjecture
We report a sign that M(atrix) theory conjecture and the Maldacena conjecture for the case of D0-branes are compatible. Furthermore Maldacena point of view implies a restriction of range of validity in the DLCQ version of M(atrix) theory. The analysis is based on the uplift of type IIA supersymetric solution in the Maldacena approach to eleven dimensions, using a boost as a main tool. The relat...
