Large branes in AdS and their field theory dual
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently it was suggested that a graviton in AdS5 × S5 with a large momentum along the sphere can blow up into a spherical D-brane in S5. In this paper we show that the same graviton can also blow up into a spherical D-brane in AdS5 with exactly the same quantum numbers (angular momentum and energy). These branes are BPS, preserving 16 of the 32 supersymmetries. We show that there is a BPS classical solution for SYM on S3 × R with exactly the same quantum numbers. The solution has non-vanishing Higgs expectation values and hence is dual to the large brane in AdS.

Dual Purpose Landscaping Tools: Small Extra Dimensions in AdS/CFT
We propose a class of AdS/CFT dual pairs which have small internal dimensions on the gravity side. Starting from known Freund-Rubin AdS/CFT dual pairs, we use 7-branes to nearly cancel the curvature energy of the internal dimensions while maintaining their stabilization. This leads to a new corner of the landscape – a class of AdS solutions with a hierarchically large AdS radius – with a dual f...
متن کاملSemiclassical Quantization of Giant Gravitons
We study excited spherical branes (“giant gravitons”) in AdS × S spacetimes with background flux. For large excitation, these branes may be treated semiclassically. We compute their spectra using Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization and use the AdS/CFT correspondence to relate them to anomalous dimensions in the dual field theory at strong coupling, expressed as a series expansion in powers of 1/N . Th...
متن کاملSphalerons, Merons, and Unstable Branes in AdS
We construct unstable classical solutions of Yang-Mills theories and their dual unstable states of type IIB on AdS5. An example is the unstable D0-brane of type IIB located at the center of AdS. This has a field theory dual which is a sphaleron in gauge theories on S3 × R. We argue that the two are dual because both are sphalerons associated to the topology of the instanton/D-instanton. This ag...
متن کاملOn the Large N Limit, W ∞ Strings, Star Products, AdS/CFT duality Nonlinear Sigma Models on AdS Spaces and Chern-Simons p-Branes
It is shown that the large N limit of SU (N) YM in curved m-dim backgrounds can be subsumed by a higher m + n dimensional gravitational theory which can be identified to an m-dim generally invariant gauge theory of diffs N , where N is an n-dim internal space (Cho, Sho, Park, Yoon). Based on these findings, a very plausible geometrical interpretation of the AdS/CF T correspondence could be give...
متن کاملTASI Lectures: Introduction to the AdS/CFT Correspondence
This is an introductory review of the AdS/CFT correspondence and of the ideas that led to its formulation. We show how comparison of stacks of D3-branes with corresponding supergravity solutions leads to dualities between conformal large N gauge theories in 4 dimensions and string backgrounds of the form AdS5 ×X5 where X5 is an Einstein manifold. The gauge invariant chiral operators of the fiel...
