Abstract

We show that dilaton beta-function equation in the brane-like sigma-model (regarded as NSR analogue of string theory on AdS5×S5AdS_5\times{S^5}) has the form of stochastic Langevin equation with non-Markovian noise. The worldsheet cutoff is identified with stochastic time and the V5V_5-operator plays the role of the noise. We derive the Fokker-Planck equation associated with this stochastic process and show that the Hamiltonian of the AdS5AdS_5 supergravity defines the distribution satisfying this Fokker-Planck equation. This means that the dynamical compactification of flat ten-dimensional space-time on AdS5×S5AdS_5\times{S^5} occurs as a result of the non-Markovian stochastic process, generated by the V5V_5-operator noise. This provides us with an insight into relation between holography principle and the concept of stochastic quantization from the point of view of critical string theory.
