SU-GP-98/5-2, hep-th/9805207 A New Approach to String Cosmology

چکیده
We discuss quotients of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime by a discrete group in light of the AdS-CFT correspondence. Some quotients describe closed universes which expand from zero volume to a maximum size and then contract. Maldacena's conjecture suggests that they should be represented in string theory by suitable quotients of the boundary conformal eld theory. We discuss the required identi cations, and construct the states associated with the linearized supergravity modes in the cosmological background.

Large spin limits of AdS/CFT and generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations
We consider AdS5 ×S5 string states with several large angular momenta along AdS5 and S 5 directions which are dual to single-trace Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) operators built out of chiral combinations of scalars and covariant derivatives. In particular, we focus on the SU(3) sector (with three spins in S5) and the SL(2) sector (with one spin in AdS5 and one in S 5), generalizing the recent work in ...

We are discussing the S & T duality for special class of heterotic string configurations. This class of solutions includes various types of black hole solutions and Taub-NUT geometries. It allows a self-dual point for both dualities which corresponds to massless configurations. As string state this point corresponds to N R = 1/2 and N L = 0. The string/string duality is shortly discussed.
متن کاملBrane Gases on K3 and Calabi-yau Manifolds
We initiate the study of Brane Gas Cosmology (BGC) on manifolds with non-trivial holonomy. Such compactifications are required within the context of superstring theory in order to make connections with realistic particle physics. We study the dynamics of brane gases constructed from various string theories on background spaces having a K3 submanifold. The K3 compactifications provide a stepping...
متن کاملString corrections to four point functions in the AdS/CFT correspondence
In a string calculation to order α, we compute an eight-derivative four-dilaton term in the type IIB effective action. Following the AdS prescription, we compute the order (g YMNc) −3/2 correction to the four-point correlation function involving the operator trF 2 in four dimensional N = 4 super Yang-Mills using the string corrected type IIB action extending the work of Freedman et al. (hep-th/...

We write an O(d, d)-covariant Wheeler-De Witt equation in the (d + 1)-dimensional minisuperspace of low-energy cosmological string backgrounds. We discuss explicit examples of transitions between two duality-related cosmological phases, and we find a finite quantum transition probability even when the two phases are classically separated by a curvature singularity. This quantum approach is comp...
