On lightcone string field theory from Super Yang-Mills and holography

چکیده
We investigate the issues of holography and string interactions in the duality between SYM and the pp wave background. We argue that the Penrose diagram of the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave has a one dimensional boundary. This fact suggests that the holographic dual of the pp-wave can be described by a quantum mechanical system. We believe this quantum mechanical system should be formulated as a matrix model. From the SYM point of view this matrix model is built out of the lowest lying KK modes of the SYM theory on an S compactification, and it relates to a wave which has been compactified along one of the null directions. String interactions are defined by finite time amplitudes on this matrix model. For closed strings they arise as in AdS-CFT, by free SYM diagrams. For open strings, they arise from the diagonalization of the hamiltonian to first order in perturbation theory. Estimates of the leading behaviour of amplitudes in SYM and string theory agree, although they are performed in very different regimes. Corrections are organized in powers of 1/(μαp) and g(μαp).

Massive IIA String Theory and Matrix Theory Compactification
We propose a Matrix Theory approach to Romans’ massive Type IIA supergravity. It is obtained by applying the procedure of Matrix Theory compactifications to Hull’s proposal of the Massive Type IIA String Theory as M-Theory on a twisted torus. The resulting Matrix Theory is a super-Yang Mills theory on large N three-branes with a space dependent non-commutativity parameter, which is also indepen...
متن کاملHolographic Reformulation of String Theory on AdS5×S background in the PP-wave limit
The recent proposal on the correspondence between the N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and string theory in the Penrose limit of the AdS5×S geometry involves a few puzzles from the viewpoint of holographic principle, especially in connection with the interpretation of times. To resolve these puzzles, we propose to interpret the PP-wave strings on the basis of tunneling null geodesics connecting bo...
متن کاملHolography in Superspace
The AdS/CFT correspondence identifies the coordinates of the conformal boundary of anti-de Sitter space with the coordinates of the conformal field theory. We generalize this identification to theories formulated in superspace. As an application of our results, we study a class of Wilson loops in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. A gauge theory computation shows that the expectation values of thes...
متن کاملA new AdS/CFT correspondence
We consider a geometric zero-radius limit for strings on AdS5 × S5, where the anti-de Sitter hyperboloid becomes the projective lightcone. In this limit the fifth dimension becomes nondynamical, yielding a different “holographic” interpretation than the usual “bulk to boundary” one. When quantized on the random lattice, the fifth coordinate acts as a new kind of Schwinger parameter, producing F...
متن کاملDual Expansions of N = 4 Super Yang-Mills Theory via IIB Superstring Theory
We examine the dual correspondence between holographic IIB superstring theory and N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory at finite values of the coupling constants. In particular we analyze a field theory strong-coupling expansion which is the S-dual of the planar expansion. This expansion arises naturally as the AdS/CFT dual of the IIB superstring scattering amplitudes given a genus truncation property...
