Supergravity, Non-Conformal Field Theories and Brane-Worlds

چکیده
We consider the supergravity dual descriptions of non-conformal super Yang-Mills theories realized on the world-volume of Dp-branes. We use the dual description to compute stress-energy tensor and current correlators. We apply the results to the study of dilatonic brane-worlds described by nonconformal field theories coupled to gravity. We find that brane-worlds based on D4 and D5 branes exhibit a localization of gauge and gravitational fields. We calculate the corrections to the Newton and Coulomb laws in these theories.

De Sitter Space in Supergravity and M Theory
Two ways in which de Sitter space can arise in supergravity theories are discussed. In the first, it arises as a solution of a conventional supergravity, in which case it necessarily has no Killing spinors. For example, de Sitter space can arise as a solution of N = 8 gauged supergravities in four or five dimensions. These lift to solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity or D = 10 IIB supergrav...
متن کاملA review of the D1/D5 system and five dimensional black hole from supergravity and brane viewpoints
We review some aspects of the D1/D5 system of type IIB string theory and the associated five dimensional black hole. We include a pedagogical discussion of the construction of relevant classical solutions in supergravity. We discuss the gauge theory and the conformal field theory relevant to D-brane description of these systems. In order to discuss Hawking radiation we are automatically led to ...
متن کاملThe Large N Limit of Superconformal field theories and supergravity
We show that the large N limit of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravity on the product of Anti-deSitter spacetimes, spheres and other compact manifolds. This is shown by taking some branes in the full M/string theory and then taking a low energy limit where the field theory on the brane decouples from the bulk. We ...
متن کاملOn D-Brane Boundary State Analysis in Pure Spinor Formalism
We explore a particular approach to study D-brane boundary states in Berkovits’ pure spinor formalism of superstring theories. In this approach one constructs the boundary states in the relevant conformal field theory by relaxing the pure spinor constraints. This enables us to write down the open string boundary conditions for non-BPS D-branes in type II string theories, generalizing our previo...
متن کاملPP-Wave Holography for Dp-Brane Backgrounds
As an extension of the so-called BMN conjecture, we investigate the plane-wave limit for possible holographic connection between bulk string theories in non-conformal backgrounds of Dp-branes and the corresponding supersymmetric gauge theories for p < 5. Our work is based on the tunneling picture for dominant null trajectories of strings in the limit of large angular momentum. The tunneling nul...
