Microcanonical Phases of String Theory on Ads M ×s
نویسندگان
چکیده
Banks, Douglas, Horowitz and Martinec [1] recently argued that in the microcanonical ensemble for string theory on AdSm×S, there is a phase transition between a black hole solution extended over the Sn and a solution localized on the Sn. If we think of this AdSm×S geometry as arising from the near-horizon limit of a black m−2 brane, the existence of this phase transition is puzzling. We present a resolution of this puzzle, and discuss its significance from the point of view of the dual m−1 dimensional field theory. We also discuss multi-black hole solutions in AdS.

Anyonic strings and membranes in AdS space and dual Aharonov-Bohm effects
It is observed that strings in AdS5 × S and membranes in AdS7 × S exhibit long range phase interactions. Two well separated membranes dragged around one another in AdS acquire phases of 2π/N . The same phases are acquired by a well separated F and D string dragged around one another. The phases are shown to correspond to both the standard and a novel type of Aharonov-Bohm effect in the dual fie...
متن کاملConfinement in Gauge Theories from the Condensation of World-Sheet Defects in Liouville String
We present a Liouville-string approach to confinement in four-dimensional gauge theories, which extends previous approaches to include non-conformal theories. We consider Liouville field theory on world sheets whose boundaries are the Wilson loops of gauge theory, which exhibit vortex and spike defects. We show that world-sheet vortex condensation occurs when the Wilson loop is embedded in four...
متن کاملString Theory on AdS 3 and Symmetric Products ∗
We consider string theory on a background of the form AdS 3 × N. Our aim is to give a description of the dual CFT in a general set up. With the requirement that we have N = 2 supersymmetry in spacetime, we provide evidence that the dual CFT is in the moduli space of a certain symmetric product M p /S p. On the way to show this, we reproduce some recent results on string propagation on AdS 3 and...
متن کاملSemiclassical Strings on AdS 5 × S 5 / Z M and Operators in Orbifold Field Theories
We show agreements, at one-loop level of field theory, between energies of semiclassical string states on AdS 5 ×S 5 /Z M and anomalous dimensions of operators in N = 0, 1, 2 orbifold field theories originating from N = 4 SYM. On field theory side, one-loop anomalous dimension matrices can be regarded as Hamiltonians of spin chains with twisted boundary conditions. These are solvable by Bethe a...
متن کاملFundamental Strings and Black Holes
We propose a black hole thermodynamic description of highly excited charged and uncharged perturbative string states in 3 + 1 dimensional type II and 4 + 1 dimensional heterotic string theory. We also discuss the generalization to extremal and non-extremal black holes carrying magnetic charges. In quantum gravity in asymptotically flat 3 + 1 dimensional spacetime, generic high energy states wit...
