Minkowski-space correlators in AdS/CFT correspondence: recipe and applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We formulate a prescription for computing Minkowski-space correlators from AdS/CFT correspondence. This prescription is shown to give the correct retarded propagators at zero temperature in four dimensions, as well as at finite temperature in the two-dimensional conformal field theory dual to the BTZ black hole. Using the prescription, we calculate the Chern-Simons diffusion constant of the finite-temperature N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the strong coupling limit. We explain why the quasinormal frequencies of the asymptotically AdS background correspond to the poles of the retarded Green’s function of the boundary conformal field theory.

Symmetry Realization, Poisson Kernel and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Two kinds of realizations of symmetry on classical domains or the Euclidean version of AdS space are used to study AdS/CFT correspondence. Mass of free particles is defined as an AdS group invariant, the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations for relativistic particles in the AdS space are set up as a simple mimic in the case of Minkowskian space. The bulk-boundary propagator on the AdS space is give...
متن کاملdS/CFT Correspondence from a Holographic Description of Massless Scalar Fields in Minkowski Space-Time
We study a one-to-one map between massless scalar fields on d+1 dimensional Minkowski (Euclidean) space time and scalar fields on d+1 dimensional De Sitter (Euclidean AdS) space. We solve the Klein-Gordon equation for massless scalar field in terms of initial data on the hypersurface t=0 which is isomorphic to the boundary of dS (AdS) space. By inserting these solutions into the action of massl...
متن کاملDaniel Kabat
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence it is well-known that correlation functions of local operators in the CFT are dual to boundary correlators computed in anti-de Sitter space. But from the point of view of AdS supergravity one of the most interesting questions is how quasi-local bulk gravitational physics emerges from the CFT. The most direct way to address this question is to study c...
متن کاملConformal anomaly from dS / CFT correspondence
In frames of dS/CFT correspondence suggested by Strominger we calculate holographic conformal anomaly for dual euclidean CFT. The holographic renormalization group method is used for this purpose. It is explicitly demonstrated that two-dimensional and four-dimensional conformal anomalies (or corresponding central charges) have the same form as those obtained in AdS/CFT duality.

متن کاملConformal Field Theory Correlators from Classical Field Theory on Anti-de Sitter Space II. Vector and Spinor Fields
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to calculate CFT correlation functions of vector and spinor fields. The connection between the AdS and boundary fields is properly treated via a Dirichlet boundary value problem.
