Dynamics on AdS2 and Enlargement of SL(2, R) to
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the enhancement of SL(2, R) to Virasoro algebra in a system ofN particles on AdS2. We restrict our discussion to the case of non-interacting particles, and argue that they must be treated as fermions. We find operators Ln whose commutators on the ground state, |vac〉, satisfy relations that are reminisent of c = 1 Virasoro algebra, provided N ≥ n ≥ −N . Same relations hold also on the states L−k|vac〉 , if (N−k) ≥ n ≥ −(N−k). The conditions Ln = L−n, and Lk|vac〉 = 0 for k ≥ 1, are also satisfied. ∗E-mail: [email protected]

Vacuum States for AdS2 Black Holes
An AdS2 black hole spacetime is an AdS2 spacetime together with a preferred choice of time. The Boulware, Hartle-Hawking and SL(2,R) invariant vacua are constructed, together with their Green functions and stress tensors, for both massive and massless scalars in an AdS2 black hole. The classical Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is found to be independent of the temperature, but at one loop a non-zero...
متن کاملAdS2 Quantum Gravity and String Theory
AdS2 has an SL(2, R) isometry group. It is argued that in the context of quantum gravity on AdS2 this group is enlarged to the full infinite-dimensional 1+1 conformal group. Massive scalar fields are coupled to AdS2 gravity and shown to have associated conformal weights h(m) shifted by their mass. For integral values of h primary boundary operators are obtained as h normal derivatives of the sc...
متن کاملOpen Strings on AdS2 Branes
We study the spectrum of open strings on AdS2 branes in AdS3 in an NS-NS background, using the SL(2, R) WZW model. When the brane carries no fundamental string charge, the open string spectrum is the holomorphic square root of the spectrum of closed strings in AdS3. It contains short and long strings, and is invariant under spectral flow. When the brane carries fundamental string charge, the op...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking, Central Charges and the AdS2/CFT1 Correspondence
When two-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space (AdS2 ) is endowed with a non-constant dilaton the origin of the central charge in the Virasoro algebra generating the asymptotic symmetries of AdS2 can be traced back to the breaking of the SL(2, R) isometry group of AdS2 . We use this fact to clarify some controversial results appeared in the literature about the value of the central charge in these m...

The boundary states for AdS 2 D-branes in Lorentzian AdS 3 space-time are presented. AdS 2 D-branes are algebraically defined by twisted Dirichlet boundary conditions and are located on twisted conjugacy classes of SL(2,R). Using free field representation of symmetry currents in the SL(2,R) WZNW model, the twisted Dirichlet gluing conditions among currents are translated to matching conditions ...
