By carefully analyzing the radial part of the wave-equation for a scalar field in AdS, we show that for a particular range of boundary conditions on the scalar field, the radial spectrum contains a bound state. Using the AdS/CFT…
We prove a precise form of AdS bulk locality by deriving analytical two-sided bounds on bulk Wilson coefficients. Our bounds are on the Wilson coefficients themselves, rather than their ratios, as is typically found in the literature.…
We review some properties of N=8 gauged supergravity in four dimensions with modified, but AdS invariant boundary conditions on the m^2=-2 scalars. There is a one-parameter class of asymptotic conditions on these fields and the metric…
We investigate the spectrum of a typical non-self-adjoint differential operator $AD=-d^2/dx^2\otimes A$ acting on $\Lp(0,1)\otimes \mathbb{C}^2$, where $A$ is a $2\times 2$ constant matrix. We impose Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
We are interested in numerical algorithms for computing the electrical field generated by a charge distribution localized on scale $\ell$ in an infinite heterogeneous medium, in a situation where the medium is only known in a box of…
We revisit the computation of the string partition function in AdS$_3$ focussing on the appearance of spacetime (super) symmetries. We show how the asymptotic symmetries of the AdS$_3$ spacetime, which generate the boundary (super) Virasoro…
In this thesis we study two-dimensional supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models with boundaries. We derive the most general family of boundary conditions in the non-supersymmetric case. Next we show that no further conditions arise when…
Using suitable magnetic flux operators established in terms of discrete derivatives leads to quantum-mechanical descriptions of LC-circuits with an external time dependent periodic voltage. This leads to second order discrete Schrodinger…
Via a challenging field-theory computation, we confirm a supergravity prediction for the non-supersymmetric D3-D7 probe-brane system with probe geometry AdS_4 x S^2 x S^2, stabilized by fluxes. Supergravity predicts, in a certain…
Similarly as in AdS/CFT, the requirement that the action for spinors be stationary for solutions to the Dirac equation with fixed boundary conditions determines the form of the boundary term that needs to be added to the standard Dirac…
We study bulk locality constraints in quantum field theories in AdS$_2$. The known derivation of locality sum rules in AdS$_{d+1}$ does not apply for $d=1$ due to the different singularity structure of the conformal blocks and the…
The spherical average $A_{1}(f)$ and its iteration $(A_{1})^{N}$ are important operators in harmonic analysis and probability theory. Also $\Delta (A_{1})^{N}$ is used to study the $K$ functional in approximation theory, where $\Delta $ is…
The scalar field exchange diagram for the correlation function of four scalar operators is evaluated in anti-de Sitter space, $AdS_{d+1}$. The conformal dimensions $\Delta_i$, $i=1,...,4$ of the scalar operators and the dimension $\Delta$…
In this paper I present an action principle for odd dimensional AdS gravity which consists of introducing another manifold with the same boundary and a very specific boundary term. This new action allows and alternative approach to the…
An easy to implement modulus-squared Dirichlet (MSD) boundary condition is formulated for numerical simulations of time-dependent complex partial differential equations in multidimensional settings. The MSD boundary condition approximates a…
We study functional determinants for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. We give, for local boundary conditions, an explicit formula relating these determinants to the corresponding Green functions. We finally apply this result to…
Using a hybrid formalism, superstrings on AdS(3) x S(1) are studied in a manifestly supersymmetric manner. The world-sheet fields in this description including superspace coordinates are obtained through a field redefinition from the…
We consider Dirac-type operators on manifolds with boundary, and set out to determine all local smooth boundary conditions that give rise to (strongly) regular self-adjoint operators. By combining the general theory of boundary value…
We study the correlation function of two circular Wilson loops at strong coupling in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, the problem maps to finding the minimal surface between two circles defined on the boundary…
In semiclassical holographic duality, the running couplings of a field theory are conventionally identified with the classical solutions of field equations in the dual gravitational theory. However, this identification is unclear when the…
