Abstract

Attempts to resolve the longstanding Fermion mass hierarchy (FMH) problem in frames of the AdS/CFT correspondence demand the knowledge of bulk fermion masses. The approach of the "old" conformal bootstrap in AdS context permitted to calculate bulk masses of scalar fields [1], [2]. In the present paper this approach is extended to physically more interesting spin 1/2 bulk fields. Calculation of spinor-scalar vertices is performed in physical AdS space, and unexpectedly simple expressions for spinor-scalar bubbles (2-point one-loop self-energy Witten diagrams) are obtained. The "double-trace from UV to IR flow" subtraction of UV divergences used earlier in calculations of the UV-finite bulk tadpoles is applied to bubbles. This permitted to write down in frame of the "old" conformal bootstrap approach the nontrivial spectral equations for the bulk fermion masses; SU(N) Yukawa model of spinor fields interacting with conformal invariant scalar field in case of four boundary dimensions is considered as a specific example.
