In arXiv:0805.0150 [hep-th] and arXiv:0812.2909 [hep-th] a general prescription was presented for the computation of real-time correlation functions using the gauge/gravity duality. I apply this prescription to the specific case of retarded…
In this paper, we consider optimizing a smooth, convex, lower semicontinuous function in Riemannian space with constraints. To solve the problem, we first convert it to a dual problem and then propose a general primal-dual algorithm to…
We start by describing two of the main proposals for duality in Abelian gauge theories, namely $F$(ield strength)-duality approach and the $S$% -duality formalism. We then discuss how $F$-duality and $S$-duality can be applied to the case…
