Aspects of the conformal Operator Product Expansion in AdS/CFT Correspondence

چکیده
We present a detailed analysis of a scalar conformal four-point function obtained from AdS/CFT correspondence. We study the scalar exchange graphs on AdSd+1 and discuss their analytic properties. Using methods of conformal partial wave analysis, we present a general procedure to study conformal four-point functions in terms of exchanges of scalar and tensor fields. The logarithmic terms in the four-point function are connected to the anomalous dimensions of the exchanged fields. Comparison of the results from AdSd+1 graphs with the conformal partial wave analysis suggests a possible general form for the operator product expansion of scalar fields in the boundary CFTd. email:[email protected] email:[email protected] email:[email protected] 1

Spinor Exchange in AdSd+1
We study the Witten diagram with general spinor field exchange on the (d + 1)dimensional Euclidean Anti-de Sitter Space, which is necessary to calculate four-point correlation functions with spinor fields when we make use of the AdS/CFT correspondence, especially, in supersymmetric cases. We show that the amplitude can be expressed by that with scalar field exchange, which have been previously ...
متن کاملOpe between the Energy-momentum Tensor and the Wilson Loop in N = 4 Super-yang-mills Theory Typeset Using Ptpt E X.sty <ver.1.0> 2
Conformal field theory (CFT) is important in modern particle physics in various contexts. The most powerful tool in the 2-dimensional CFT is the operator product expansion (OPE). The OPE between the energy-momentum tensor and an operator extracts its conformal weight. We find it interesting to consider the similar issue with respect to the Wilson loop in a conformally invariant Yang-Mills theor...
متن کاملOn Four-point Functions in the CFT/AdS Correspondence
We discuss the properties of four-point functions in the context of the correspondence between a classical supergravity theory in the bulk of the Anti de Sitter (AdS) space and quantum conformal field theory (CFT) at the boundary. The contribution to a four-point function from the exchange of a scalar field of arbitrary mass in AdS space is explicitly identified with that of the corresponding o...

We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...
متن کاملBeyond the tree level in the AdS / CFT Correspondence
The loop expansion of the effective action is used to evaluate quantum corrections to a scalar field theory (massive φ model) on AdSn+1 . We evaluate one loop corrections and show that they preserve conformal invariance of the boundary theory as conjectured by AdS/CFT correspondence. ∗email : [email protected] 1
