Superconformal Anomaly from Ads/cft Correspondence †
نویسنده
چکیده
For a classical superconformal gauge theory in a conformal supergravity background, its chiral R-symmetry anomaly, Weyl anomaly and super-Weyl anomaly constitute a supermultiplet. We review how these anomalies arise from the five-dimensional gauged supergravity in terms of the AdS/CFT correspondence at the gravity level. The holographic production of this full superconformal anomaly multiplet provides a support and test to the celebrated AdS/CFT conjecture.

Higher-Derivative Gravity and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We investigate the AdS/CFT correspondence for higher-derivative gravity systems, and develop a formalism in which the generating functional of the boundary field theory is given as a functional that depends only on the boundary values of bulk fields. We also derive a Hamilton-Jacobi-like equation that uniquely determines the generating functional, and give an algorithm calculating the Weyl anom...
متن کاملSuper Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Anomalies of N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the supercon...

متن کاملCurrent Correlators and AdS/CFT Geometry
We consider current-current correlators in 4d N = 1 SCFTs, and also 3d N = 2 SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal U(1)R symmetry of the SCFT has the distinguishing property that, among all possibilities, it minimizes the coefficient, τRR of its two-point function. We show that the geometric Z-minimization condition of Martelli, Sparks, and Yau precisely implements τRR ...

The γ-trace anomaly of supersymmetry current in a supersymmetric gauge theory shares a superconformal anomaly multiplet with the chiral R-symmetry anomaly and the Weyl anomaly, and its holographic reproduction is a valuable test to the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. We investigate how the γ-trace anomaly of the supersymmetry current of N = 1 four-dimensional su-persymmetric gauge theory in ...
