We discuss the scalar propagator on generic AdS x S backgrounds. For the conformally flat situations and masses corresponding to Weyl invariant actions, the propagator is powerlike in the sum of the chordal distances with respect to…
We compute the propagator for massless and massive scalar fields in the metric of the pp-wave. The retarded propagator for the massless field is found to stay confined to the surface formed by null geodesics. The algebraic form of the…
We construct the massive scalar propagator for planar gravitational wave backgrounds propagating on Minkowski space. We represent the propagator in terms of the Bessel's function of suitably deformed nonlocal distance functions, the…
We give an explicit superspace propagator for the chiral scalar field strength of 10D IIB supergravity on an AdS5 x S5 background. Because this space is conformally flat, the propagator is very simple, almost identical to that of flat…
In this paper, we investigate how AdS scalar propagators are represented in the celestial basis. Starting from the standard bulk-to-boundary propagator in Euclidean AdS space, we express the propagator in a Schwinger parametrization and…
AdS dynamics for massive scalar field is studied both by solving exactly the equation of motion and by constructing bulk-boundary propagator. A Robertson-Walker-like metric is deduced from the familiar SO(2,n) invariant metric. The metric…
We study the transition of a scalar field in a fixed $AdS_{d+1}$ background between an extremum and a minimum of a potential. We first prove that two conditions must be met for the solution to exist. First, the potential involved cannot be…
We study the photon bulk-to-bulk propagator in AdS in various gauges, including axial, Coulomb, and the standard covariant gauge. We compute the propagator using both momentum and position space techniques. We ensure the propagators…
Green functions for the scalar, spinor and vector fields in a plane wave geometry arising as a Penrose limit of $AdS\times S$ are obtained. The Schwinger-DeWitt technique directly gives the results in the plane wave background, which turns…
Using the known propagator equations for 0,1 and 2 forms in AdS_{d+1}, we find the p-form field propagator equations in dimensions where the forms are Poincare dual. Since the general equation obeyed by the propagators is linear in…
A coordinate-space representation for a charged scalar particle propagator in a constant magnetic field was obtained as a series over the Landau levels. Using the recently developed modified Fock-Schwinger method, an intermediate expression…
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 $\Delta$…
We show that the spectrum of the SYK model can be interpreted as that of a 3D scalar coupled to gravity. The scalar has a mass which is at the Breitenholer-Freedman bound of AdS$_2$, and subject to a delta function potential at the center…
We present a detailed discussion of scalar wave propagation and light intensity transport in three dimensional random dielectric media with optical gain. The intrinsic length and time scales of such amplifying systems are studied and…
In this brief note we construct the propagator for the antisymmetric tensor in AdS_{d+1}. We check our result using the Poincare duality between the antisymmetric tensor and the gauge boson in AdS_5. This propagator was needed for a…
We consider scalar field theory in a changing background field. As an example we study the simple case of a spatially varying mass for which we construct the semiclassical approximation to the propagator. The semiclassical dispersion…
Global geometric properties of dS space are presented explicitly in various coordinates. A Robertson-Walker like metric is deduced, which is convenient to be used in study of dynamics in dS space. Singularities of wavefunctions of massive…
We develop the embedding formalism to describe symmetric traceless tensors in Anti-de Sitter space. We use this formalism to construct the bulk-to-bulk propagator of massive spin J fields and check that it has the expected short distance…
We consider scalar QED with $N_f$ flavors in AdS$_D$. For $D<4$ the theory is strongly-coupled in the IR. We use the spin 1 spectral representation to compute and efficiently resum the bubble diagram in AdS, in order to obtain the exact…
We construct propagators in Euclidean AdS(d+1) space-time for massive p-forms and massive symmetric tensors.
