AdS Box Graphs, Unitarity and Operator Product Expansions
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop a method of singularity analysis for conformal graphs which, in particular, is applicable to the holographic image of AdS supergravity theory. It can be used to determine the critical exponents for any such graph in a given channel. These exponents determine the towers of conformal blocks that are exchanged in this channel. We analyze the scalar AdS box graph and show that it has the same critical exponents as the corresponding CFT box graph. Thus pairs of external fields couple to the same exchanged conformal blocks in both theories. This is looked upon as a general structural argument supporting the Maldacena hypothesis. email:[email protected] email:[email protected] email:[email protected] 1

Aspects of the conformal Operator Product Expansion in AdS/CFT Correspondence
We present a detailed analysis of a scalar conformal four-point function obtained from AdS/CFT correspondence. We study the scalar exchange graphs on AdSd+1 and discuss their analytic properties. Using methods of conformal partial wave analysis, we present a general procedure to study conformal four-point functions in terms of exchanges of scalar and tensor fields. The logarithmic terms in the ...
متن کاملSome Applications of Strong Product
Let G and H be graphs. The strong product GH of graphs G and H is the graph with vertex set V(G)V(H) and u=(u1, v1) is adjacent with v= (u2, v2) whenever (v1 = v2 and u1 is adjacent with u2) or (u1 = u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2) or (u1 is adjacent with u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2). In this paper, we first collect the earlier results about strong product and then we present applications of ...
متن کاملA sub-determinant approach for pseudo-orbit expansions of spectral determinants in quantum maps and quantum graphs
Klaus Richter Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany Abstract We study implications of unitarity for pseudo-orbit expansions of the spectral determinants of quantum maps and quantum graphs. In particular, we advocate to group pseudo-orbits into subdeterminants. We show explicitly that the cancellation of long orbits is elegantly described on this l...
متن کاملLifting a Conformal Field Theory from D-dimensional Flat Space to (d+1)- Dimensional Ads Space
A quantum field theory on Anti-de-Sitter space can be constructed from a conformal field theory on its boundary Minkowski space by an inversion of the holographic mapping. To do this the conformal field theory must satisfy certain constraints. The structure of operator product expansions is carried over to AdS space. We show that this method yields a higher spin field theory HS(4) from the mini...
متن کاملString Theory on AdS 3 Revisited ∗
We discuss string theory on AdS 3 × S 3 × M 4 with particular emphasis on unitarity and state-operator correspondence. The AdS-CFT correspondence, in the Minkowski signature, is reexamined by taking into account the only allowed unitary representation: the principal series module of the affine current algebra SL(2,R) supplemented with zero modes. Zero modes play an important role in the descrip...
