Central Charge for \(AdS_2\) Quantum Gravity
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Two-dimensional Maxwell-dilaton quantum gravity on AdS2 with radius l and a constant electric field E is studied. In conformal gauge, this is equivalent to a CFT on a strip. In order to maintain consistent boundary conditions, the usual conformal diffeomorphisms must be accompanied by a certain U(1) gauge transformation. The resulting conformal transformations are generated by a twisted stress tensor, which has a central charge c = 3kEl/4 where k is the level of the U(1) current. This is an AdS2 analog of the Brown-Henneaux formula c = 3l/2G for the central charge of quantum gravity on AdS3.

متن کاملThe toroidal Hausdorff dimension of 2d Euclidean quantum gravity
The lengths of shortest non-contractible loops are studied numerically in 2d Euclidean quantum gravity on a torus coupled to conformal field theories with central charge less than one. We find that the distribution of these geodesic lengths displays a scaling in agreement with a Hausdorff dimension given by the formula of Y. Watabiki. PACS: 04.60.Ds, 04.60.Kz, 04.06.Nc, 04.62.+v.
متن کاملA Universal Inequality for CFT and Quantum Gravity
We prove that every unitary two-dimensional conformal field theory (with no extended chiral algebra, and with c, c̃ > 1) contains a primary operator with dimension ∆1 that satisfies 0 < ∆1 < c+c̃ 12 + 0.473695. Translated into gravitational language using the AdS3/CFT2 dictionary, our result proves rigorously that the lightest massive excitation in any theory of 3D gravity with cosmological const...
متن کاملCausal Quantum Gravity
I discuss some issues of perturbative quantum gravity, namely of a theory of self-interacting massless spin-2 quantum gauge fields, the gravitons, on flat space-time, in the framework of causal perturbation theory. The central aspects of this approach lie in the construction of the scattering matrix by means of causality and Poincaré covariance and in the analysis of the gauge structure of the ...
متن کاملThe Ising model on a Quenched Ensemble of c = −5 Gravity Graphs
We study with Monte Carlo methods an ensemble of c = −5 gravity graphs, generated by coupling a conformal field theory with central charge c = −5 to two-dimensional quantum gravity. We measure the fractal properties of the ensemble, such as the string susceptibility exponent γs and the intrinsic fractal dimensions dH . We find γs = −1.5(1) and dH = 3.36(4), in reasonable agreement with theoreti...
