Holography in the Penrose limit of AdS space 1
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the Penrose limit of pure AdS space, which is flat Minkowski space. Even though there is no holographic principle, we construct a " holographic screen " on which information on the corresponding CFT is encoded. The screen is obtained as a gauge-fixing condition upon restricting the Hilbert space to the states that are annihilated by the generator of scale transformations. This constraint leads to Dirac brackets which turn the Poincaré algebra into the algebra of the conformal group on the " holographic screen. "

The Penrose limit of AdS×S space and holography
In the Penrose limit, AdS×S space turns into a Cahen-Wallach (CW) space whose Killing vectors satisfy a Heisenberg algebra. I discuss how this algebra is mapped onto the holographic screen on the boundary of AdS. Furthermore, I show that the algebra on the boundary of AdS may be obtained directly from the CW space by appropriately constraining the states defined on it. By viewing the constraint...
متن کاملAdS Holography in the Penrose Limit
We study the holographic description of string theory in a plane wave spacetime by taking the Penrose limit of the usual AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider three-point functions with two BMN operators and one non-BMN operator; the latter should go over to a perturbation of the dual CFT. On the string side we take the Penrose limit of the metric perturbation produced by the non-BMN operator, an...
متن کاملPenrose Limit of N = 1 Gauge Theories
We find a Penrose limit of AdS 5 × T 1,1 which gives the pp-wave geometry identical to the one that appears in the Penrose limit of AdS 5 × S 5. This leads us to conjecture that there is a subsector of the corresponding N = 1 gauge theory which has enhanced N = 4 supersymmetry. We identify operators in the N = 1 gauge theory with stringy excitations in the pp-wave geometry and discuss how the g...
متن کاملA Multi-boundary AdS Orbifold and DLCQ Holography: A Universal Holographic Description of Extremal Black Hole Horizons
We examine a stationary but non-static asymptotically AdS3 spacetime with two causally connected conformal boundaries, each of which is a “null cylinder”, namely a cylinder with a null direction identified. This spacetime arises from three different perspectives: (i) as a non-singular, causally regular orbifold of global AdS3 by boosts, (ii) as a Penrose-like limit focusing on the horizon of ex...
متن کاملD5-brane in Anti-de Sitter Space and Penrose Limit
We consider the Penrose limit of the solution of D5-brane given in the Anti-de Sitter space and analyse the shape of the D5-brane in the pp-wave background. We find that the D5-brane leads to the branes and the throats connecting the branes. The branes spread on R with periodic values of the light-cone time x and the throats lie along x. We also give some comments on holography. May 2002 † seki...
