‘ Conformal Theories - AdS Branes ’ Transform , or One More Face of AdS / CFT
نویسنده
چکیده
The AdS/CFT transformation relates two nonlinear realizations of (super)conformal groups: their realization in the appropriate field theories in Minkowski space with a Goldstone dilaton field and their realization as (super)isometry groups of AdS (super)spaces. It exists already at the classical level and maps the field variables and space-time coordinates of the given (super)conformal field theory in d-dimensional Minkowski space M d on the variables of a scalar codimension one (super)brane in AdS d+1 in a static gauge, the dilaton being mapped on the transverse AdS brane coordinate. We explain the origin of this coordinate map and describe some its implications, in particular, in d = 1 models of conformal and superconformal mechanics. We also give a suggestive geometric interpretation of this AdS/CFT transform in the pure bosonic case in the framework of an extended 2d + 1-dimensional conformal space involving extra coordinates associated with the generators of dilatations and conformal boosts.

Conformal Anomaly of Submanifold Observables in Ads/cft Correspondence C. Robin Graham and Edward Witten
We analyze the conformal invariance of submanifold observables associated with k-branes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. For odd k, the resulting observables are conformally invariant, and for even k, they transform with a conformal anomaly that is given by a local expression which we analyze in detail for k = 2.

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 کاملConformal anomaly from dS / CFT correspondence
In frames of dS/CFT correspondence suggested by Strominger we calculate holographic conformal anomaly for dual euclidean CFT. The holographic renormalization group method is used for this purpose. It is explicitly demonstrated that two-dimensional and four-dimensional conformal anomalies (or corresponding central charges) have the same form as those obtained in AdS/CFT duality.

متن کاملAlgebras from AdS / CFT Correspondence
We consider a system of D5/D1 branes in the supergravity background AdS3 × S ×X , where X is T 4 or K3. By investigating the structure of the missing states in the conformal description, we are able to extend the AdS/CFT correspondence to W algebras. As a test of this new formulation the results are compared to Hilbert schemes and more general supergravity backgrounds as deformations by D3-bran...
متن کاملSTRINGY INSTABILITY OF TOPOLOGICALLY NON-TRIVIAL AdS BLACK HOLES AND OF deSITTER S-BRANE SPACETIMES
Seiberg and Witten have discussed a specifically “stringy” kind of instability which arises in connection with “large” branes in asymptotically AdS spacetimes. It is easy to see that this instability actually arises in most five-dimensional asymptotically AdS black hole string spacetimes with non-trivial horizon topologies. We point out that this is a more serious problem than it may at first s...
