Gauge Fields as Composite Boundary Excitations
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate representations of the conformal group that describe “massless” particles in the interior and at the boundary of anti-de Sitter space. It turns out that massless gauge excitations in anti-de Sitter are gauge “current” operators at the boundary. Conversely, massless excitations at the boundary are topological singletons in the interior. These representations lie at the threshold of two “unitary bounds” that apply to any conformally invariant field theory. Gravity and Yang-Mills gauge symmetry in antiDe Sitter is translated to global translational symmetry and continuous R-symmetry of the boundary superconformal field theory.

Gauge fluctuations and interlayer coherence in bilayer composite fermion metals
We study the effect of the Chern-Simons gauge fields on the possible transition from two decoupled composite fermion metals to the interlayer coherent composite fermion state proposed by Alicea et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 256403 (2009)] in a symmetrically doped quantum Hall bilayer with total Landau level filling fraction νtot = 1. In this transition, interlayer Coulomb repulsion leads to exc...
متن کاملDynamical localization of gauge fields on a brane
We propose a dynamical mechanism of localization of gauge fields on a brane in which gauge bosons are excitations of the brane itself or composites made out of matter fields localized on the brane. The mechanism is operative for both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields. Several scalar and scalar-fermion composite models of gauge fields are considered. The models exhibit exact gauge invariance ...
متن کاملGauge Fields on Tachyon Matter
We study the rolling tachyon including the gauge fields in boundary string field theory. We show that there are no plane wave solutions for the gauge fields for large time. The disappearance of the plane wave solutions indicates that there are no excitations of the gauge fields on the tachyon matter, which is consistent with the Sen’s conjecture. Recently, Sen [1, 2] considered the decay proces...
متن کاملD-branes in Yang-Mills theory and Emergent Gauge Symmetry
Four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere has highly charged baryon-like states built from anti-symmetric combinations of the adjoint scalars. We show that these states, which are equivalently described as holes in a free fermi sea of a reduced matrix model, are D-branes. Their excitations are stringlike and effectively realize Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions...
متن کاملTesting Stability of M-Theory on an S/Z2 Orbifold
We analyse perturbatively, whether a flat background with vanishing G-flux in Hořava-Witten supergravity represents a vacuum state, which is stable with respect to interactions between the ten-dimensional boundaries, mediated through the D=11 supergravity bulk fields. For this, we consider fluctuations in the graviton, gravitino and 3-form around the flat background, which couple to the boundar...
