Exciting AdS Orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
The supersymmetric (AdS3×S)/ZN orbifold constructed by the authors in hep-th/0106171 is shown to describe AdS fragmentation, where fivebranes are emerging from the F1-NS5 background. The twisted sector moduli of the orbifold are the collective coordinates of groups of n5/N fivebranes. We discuss the relation between the descriptions of this background as a perturbative string orbifold and as a BPS state in the dual spacetime CFT. Finally, we attempt to apply the lessons learned to the description of BTZ black holes as AdS3 orbifolds and to related big crunch/big bang cosmological scenarios. [email protected] [email protected]

Branes, Waves and AdS Orbifolds
The embedding of a Taub-NUT space in the directions transverse to the world volume of branes describes branes at (spherical) orbifold singularities. Similarly, the embedding of a pp-wave in the brane world volume yields an AdS orbifold. In case of the D1-D5–brane system, the AdS3 orbifolds yields a BTZ black hole; as we will show, the same holds for D3–branes corresponding to AdS5. In addition ...
متن کاملNull orbifolds in AdS, Time Dependence and Holography
We study M/D-branes in a null-brane background. By taking a near horizon limit, one is left with cosmological models in the corresponding Poincaré patches. To deal with their usual horizons, we either extend these models to global AdS or remain in the Poincaré patch and apply a T-duality transformation whenever the effective radius of the compact dimension associated with the null-brane probes ...
متن کاملPenrose Limits of Orbifolds and Orientifolds
We study the Penrose limit of various AdSp × Sq orbifolds. The limiting spaces are waves with parallel rays and singular wave fronts. In particular, we consider the orbifolds AdS3 × S3/Γ, AdS5 × S5/Γ and AdS4,7 × S7,4/Γ where Γ acts on the sphere and/or the AdS factor. In the pp-wave limit the wave fronts are the orbifolds C2/Γ, C4/Γ and R × C4/Γ, respectively. When desingularization is possibl...
متن کاملWeighted projective embeddings, stability of orbifolds and constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics
We embed polarised orbifolds with cyclic stabiliser groups into weighted projective space via a weighted form of Kodaira embedding. Dividing by the (non-reductive) automorphisms of weighted projective space then formally gives a moduli space of orbifolds. We show how to express this as a reductive quotient and so a GIT problem, thus defining a notion of stability for orbifolds. We then prove an...
متن کاملQuotients of anti - de Sitter space
We study the quotients of n + 1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by oneparameter subgroups of its isometry group SO(2, n) for general n. We classify the different quotients up to conjugation by O(2, n). We find that the majority of the classes exist for all n ≥ 2. There are two special classes which appear in higher dimensions: one for n ≥ 3 and one for n ≥ 4. The description of the quotient in...
