A Comment on Curvature Effects In CFTs And The Cardy-Verlinde Formula

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We examine the Cardy-Verlinde formula for finite temperature N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory on R×S3R\times S^3, and its AdS dual. We find that curvature effects introduce non-trivial corrections to thermodynamic quantities computed on both sides. We find a modified version of the Cardy-Verlinde formula for the SYM theory, incorporating these. On the gravity side, these corrections imply that the Cardy-Verlinde formula is exact.
