We show that the background field method applied to supergravity in adS space-time provides the path integral for the theory in the bulk with conformal symmetry associated with the isometry of the adS space. This in turn allows to establish…
We show that any conformal field theory in d-dimensional Minkowski space, in a phase with spontaneously broken conformal symmetry and with the dilaton among its fields, can be rewritten in terms of the static gauge (d-1)-brane on AdS_(d+1)…
Meta-conformal transformations are constructed as dynamical symmetries of the linear transport equation in $d$ spatial dimensions. In one and two dimensions, the associated Lie algebras are infinite-dimensional and isomorphic to the direct…
In this letter, we elaborate on the SL(2,Z) action on three dimensional conformal field theories with U(1) symmetry introduced by Witten, by trying to give an explicit verification of the claim regarding holographic dual of the S operation…
We list the spectrum generating algebras for string theory and M-theory compactified on various backgrounds of the form $AdS_{d+1} \times S^n$. We identify the representations of these algebras which make up the classical supergravity…
The symmetry algebra of massless fields living on the 3-dimensional conformal boundary of AdS(4) is shown to be isomorphic to 3d conformal higher spin algebra (AdS(4) higher spin algebra). A simple realization of this algebra on the free…
The large N behavior of Matrix theory is discussed on the basis of the previously proposed generalized conformal symmetry. The concept of `oblique' AdS/CFT correspondence, in which the conformal symmetry involves both the space-time…
We study general properties of the conformal basis, the space of wavefunctions in $(d+2)$-dimensional Minkowski space that are primaries of the Lorentz group $SO(1,d+1)$. Scattering amplitudes written in this basis have the same symmetry as…
In this paper, we create a Mellin space method for boundary correlation functions in de Sitter (dS) and anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces. We demonstrate that the analytic continuation between AdS${}_{d+1}$ and dS${}_{d+1}$ is encoded in a set of…
The moduli space of c=1 conformal field theories in two dimensions has a multicritical point, where a circle theory is equivalent to an orbifold theory. We analyse all the conformal branes in both descriptions of this theory, and find…
Conformal theories in a d dimensional spacetime may be expressed as manifestly conformal theories in a d+2 dimensional conformal space as first proposed by Dirac. The reduction to d dimensions goes via the d+1 dimensional hypercone in the…
We describe the general features of the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of logarithmic conformal field theories with N=1 supersymmetry. Three particular systems are examined in some detail -- D-brane recoil, a superconformal extension of…
A simple generating procedure for Lagrangians of conformal gauge fields of mixed-symmetry type is presented. The construction originates from the analysis of the near-boundary behaviour of the associated AdS gauge fields using the ambient…
We consider D3 branes world-volume theories substaining $N=1,2$ superconformal field theories. Under the assumption that these theories are dual to $N=2,4$ supergravities in $AdS_5$, we explore the general structure of the latter and…
This thesis is an elaboration of recent results on the holographic re-construction of metric-like interactions in higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter space (AdS), employing their conjectured holographic duality with free conformal…
In this paper we write down the equation for a scalar conformally coupled field simultaneously for de Sitter (dS), anti-de Sitter (AdS) and Minkowski spacetime in d-dimensions. The curvature dependence appears in a very simple way through a…
The AdS/CFT correspondence is employed to derive logarithmic corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde formula when thermal fluctuations in the Anti-de Sitter black hole are accounted for. The qualitative effect of these corrections on the…
The ADE classification scheme is encountered in many areas of mathematics, most notably in the study of Lie algebras. Here such a scheme is shown to describe families of two-dimensional conformal field theories.
In this paper we study one-dimensional conformal field theory at finite temperature dual to the two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime in the Rindler coordinates. We show that conformal symmetry for thermal two-point functions manifests…
Conformal field theories play a central role in modern theoretical physics with many applications to the understanding of phase transitions, gauge theories and even the quantum physics of gravity, through Maldacena's celebrated holographic…
