Conformal boundary and geodesics for AdS 5 × S 5 and the plane wave : Their approach in the Penrose limit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Projecting on a suitable subset of coordinates, a picture is constructed in which the conformal boundary of AdS 5 × S 5 and those of the plane wave resulting in the Penrose limit is located at the same line. All AdS 5 × S 5 and plane wave geodesics are classified in their integrated form. Performing the Penrose limit the approach of null geodesics reaching the conformal boundary of AdS 5 × S 5 to that of the plane wave is studied in detail.

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 ...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory for the Superstring in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background
A quantizable worldsheet action is constructed for the superstring in a supersymmetric plane wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The action is manifestly invariant under all isometries of the background and is an exact worldsheet conformal field theory. It has recently been recognized that the Penrose limit of the AdS 5 × S 5 background with Ramond-Ramond (R-R) flux is a supersymmetric pla...

We consider the exact solutions of the supergravity theories in various dimensions in which the space-time has the form M d × S D−d where M d is an Einstein space admitting a conformal Killing vector and S D−d is a sphere of an appropriate dimension. We show that, if the cosmological constant of M d is negative and the conformal Killing vector is space-like, then such solutions will have a conf...

متن کاملPenrose Limit of N = 1 Gauge Theories
We find a Penrose limit of AdS 5 × T 1,1 which gives the pp-wave geometry identical to the one that appears in the Penrose limit of AdS 5 × S 5. This leads us to conjecture that there is a subsector of the corresponding N = 1 gauge theory which has enhanced N = 4 supersymmetry. We identify operators in the N = 1 gauge theory with stringy excitations in the pp-wave geometry and discuss how the g...
