It has been conjectured that the (weakly coupled) Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with gauge fields in the bulk is dual to a (strongly coupled) 4D conformal field theory (CFT) with an UV cut-off and in which global symmetries of the CFT are gauged. We elucidate features of this dual CFT which are crucial for a complete understanding of the proposed duality. We argue that the limit of no (or small) b...

The number of asymptotically de Sitter (non-singular) solutions of 5d dilatonic gravity with positive cosmological constant is found. These solutions are similar to the previously known asymptotically AdS spaces where dilaton may generate the singularity. Using these solutions the consistent c-function is proposed in the same way as in AdS/CFT. The consistency of RG flow gives further support f...

Recently several generalizations to higher dimension of the classical Fourier transform (FT) using Clifford geometric algebra have been introduced, including the two-dimensional (2D) Clifford Fourier transform (CFT). Based on the 2D CFT, we establish the two-dimensional Clifford windowed Fourier transform (CWFT). Using the spectral representation of the CFT, we derive several important properti...

In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence it is well-known that correlation functions of local operators in the CFT are dual to boundary correlators computed in anti-de Sitter space. But from the point of view of AdS supergravity one of the most interesting questions is how quasi-local bulk gravitational physics emerges from the CFT. The most direct way to address this question is to study c...

We have shown previously that inhalation anaesthetics inhibit dopamine transport in rat synaptosomes. In order to determine if this inhibition is associated with occupancy of the cocaine site, we examined binding of [3H] (2 beta-carbomethoxy-3 beta-(4-fluorophenyl)-tropane) (3H-CFT) in the presence of halothane or isoflurane 0.01-5 mmol litre-1 in rat brain synaptosomes. Both anaesthetics inhib...

In the context of AdS3/CFT2, we address spacetimes with a certain sort of internal infinity as typified by the extreme BTZ black hole. The internal infinity is a null circle lying at the end of the black hole’s infinite throat. We argue that such spacetimes may be described by a product CFT of the form CFTL⊗CFTR, where CFTR is associated with the asymptotically AdS boundary while CFTL is associ...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign fibrous lesion of uncertain pathogenesis which shows distinct histological features. CFT has a broad anatomy distribution, and it was recently described in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissue, intra-cavity and intrinsic viscera. However, so far, there is no report to describe a CFT occurring in bone. We presented an unusual intraosseous CFT in a...

The AdS–conformal field theory correspondence provides information about the strong coupling behavior of some conformal field theories by studying their supergravity ~string! duals @1–4#. In particular, the AdS-CFT duality relates type IIB string theory on AdS33S 3M, where M is either K3 or T, to a certain N5(4,4) supersymmetric twodimensional conformal field theory ~CFT! living on the boundary...
