From Feynman graphs to Witten diagrams

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of generalizing Gopakumar's microscopic derivation [1] of Witten diagrams in large N free quantum field theory to interacting theories. For simplicity we consider a massless, matrix valued real scalar field with Φh\Phi^h interaction in d-dimensions. Using Schwinger's proper time formulation and organizing the sum over Feynman graphs by the number of loops \ell, we show that the two-point function can be expressed as a sum over boundary-to-boundary propagators of bulk scalars in AdSd+1AdS_{d+1} with mass determined by \ell.
