Extracting spacetimes using the AdS/CFT conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We present analytic methods for extracting a class of bulk geometries given information of certain physical quantities in the boundary CFT. More specifically we look at singular correlators and entanglement entropy in the CFT to provide information of null and spacelike geodesics repectively in the bulk. We show that static spherically symmetric, asymptotically AdS spacetimes which do not admit null circular orbits can be fully recovered, and that any spacetime can be recovered up to the local maximum of the potential. We provide analytical and numerical examples to verify the methods used. ∗[email protected]

Ja n 20 01 Scalar field spacetimes and the AdS / CFT conjecture
We describe a class of asymptotically AdS scalar field spacetimes, and calculate the associated conserved charges for three, four and five spacetime dimensions using the conformal and counter-term prescriptions. The energy associated with the solutions in each case is proportional to √ M 2 − k 2 , where M is a constant and k is a scalar charge. In five spacetime dimensions, the counter-term pre...
متن کاملOn the Geometry and Mass of Static, Asymptotically AdS Spacetimes, and the Uniqueness of the AdS Soliton
We prove two theorems, announced in hep-th/0108170, for static spacetimes that solve Einstein’s equation with negative cosmological constant. The first is a general structure theorem for spacetimes obeying a certain convexity condition near infinity, analogous to the structure theorems of Cheeger and Gromoll for manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature. For spacetimes with Ricci-flat conformal...
متن کاملEntropy of Rotating Misner String Spacetimes
Using a boundary counterterm prescription motivated by the AdS/CFT conjecture, I evaluate the energy, entropy and angular momentum of the class of Kerr-NUT/bolt-AdS spacetimes. As in the non-rotating case, when the NUT charge is nonzero the entropy is no longer equal to one-quarter of the area due to the presence of the Misner string. When the cosmological constant is also non-zero, the entropy...
متن کاملA uniqueness theorem for the AdS soliton
The stability of physical systems depends on the existence of a state of least energy, or ground state. In gravity, this is guaranteed by the positive energy theorem. The proof employs spinor structure and can fail for certain spacetime topologies, such as those arising in non-supersymmetric Kaluza-Klein compactifications, which can decay to arbitrarily negative energy. The proof also fails for...
متن کاملThe AdS/CFT Correspondence and a New Positive Energy Conjecture for General Relativity
We examine the AdS/CFT correspondence when the gauge theory is considered on a compactified space with supersymmetry breaking boundary conditions. We find that the corresponding supergravity solution has a negative energy, in agreement with the expected negative Casimir energy in the field theory. Stability of the gauge theory would imply that this supergravity solution has minimum energy among...
