Near Flat Space Limit of Strings on AdS

چکیده
The non-linear nature of string theory on non-trivial backgrounds related to the AdS/CFT correspondence suggests to look for simplifications. Two such simplifications proved to be useful in studying string theory. These are the pp-wave limit which describes point-like strings and the so called “near flat space” limit which connects two different sectors of string theory – pp-waves and “giant magnons”. Recently another example of AdS/CFT duality emerged AdS4/CFT3, which suggests duality between N = 6 CS theory and superstring theory on AdS4 × CP. In this paper we study the “near flat space” limit of strings on the AdS4 × CP background and discuss possible applications of the reduced theory. PACS number: 11.25.Tq

متن کاملNear-flat space limit and Einstein manifolds
We study the near-flat space limit for strings on AdS5 × M5, where the internal manifold M5 is equipped with a generic metric with U(1)3 isometry. In the bosonic sector, the limiting sigma model is similar to the one found for AdS5 × S5, as the global symmetries are reduced in the most general case. When M5 is a SasakiEinstein space like T 1,1, Y p,q and Lp,q,r, whose dual CFT’s have N = 1 supe...
متن کاملOn the covariant quantization of tensionless bosonic strings in AdS spacetime
The covariant quantization of the tensionless free bosonic (open and closed) strings in AdS spaces is obtained. This is done by representing the AdS space as an hyperboloid in a flat auxiliary space and by studying the resulting string constrained hamiltonian system in the tensionless limit. It turns out that the constraint algebra simplifies in the tensionless case in such a way that the close...

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 کاملA Note on the Near Flat Limit for Strings in the Maldacena–Nunez Background
Recently Maldacena and Swanson suggested a new limit of string theory on the AdS5 × S background, the so called near flat space limit. The resulting reduced theory interpolates between the pp-wave limit and giant magnon type string solutions. It was shown that the reduced model possess many features of the original theory. On the other hand, theories with less supersymmetry are of great importa...
