AdS/CFT: overview Holography (Bekenstein, Susskind, ‘t Hooft, Bousso): information in the bulk is encoded on a surface

AdS/CFT: overview AdS space: Solution to Einstein’s equations with negative cosmological constant Conformal Field theory (CFT): Invariant under conformal transformations=Poincaré +scale invariance, Roughly speaking for odd dimensions Maldacena conjecture (AdS/CFT) (1997)

AdS/CFT+gravity Extra Dimensions!! Kaluza–Klein compactification Randall-Sundrum model: large extra dimensions (brane ) On the RS brane: gravity+CFT(UV cutoff ) Provides a natural set up to study strongly coupled CFT systems in non-trivial gravitational backgrounds

AdS/CFT+gravity Black holes (BH) localized on RS-branes: BH evaporation (classical BH+CFT corrections) Important for quantum gravity But no localized BH on RS 3-brane (4+1 D bulk) so far!! Emparan, Horowitz and Myers (EHM) (1999) found BHs on RS 2-brane (3+1 D bulk) Emparan, Fabbri and Kaloper interpretation: (EHM) BHs are quantum corrected BHs. How they did it? They compared the quantum corrections to a point mass in 2+1 D to (EHM) BHs Classical geometryCFT correctionsSemiclassical gravity

Gravity in 2+1 D Gravity is not dynamical in 2+1 D Vacuum Solution: conical singularity, no BH

Gravity in 2+1 D Why to study accelerating conical singularities? It provides a natural setup for a CFT kept at a finite temperature (Unruh effect) The presence of acceleration horizon may give us some idea about the more interesting case of BHs on the RS 3-brane. Finite temperature CFT: a clue about a possible confinement/de- confinement phase transition

Geometry of accelerating particles in 2+1 D The presence of point particles in the accelerating frame with conical singularity acceleration

Geometry of accelerating particles in 2+1 D The acceleration has to be provided by a strut strut particle

Quantum corrections: weakly coupled CFT Lagrangian density Conformally coupled theory Acceleration finite temperature (Unruh effect) Euclidean time thermal Green’s function To find the quantum corrections to the classical spacetime: 1-solve for well behaved with appropriate BCs 2- regularize by subtracting 3-calculate the energy-momentum tensor (Casimir effect)

Quantum corrections: weakly coupled CFT -Transparent BCs -Dirichlet BCs Strut position

conclusion AdS/CFT+gravity to understand strongly coupled CFT in non- tervial backgrounds More to understand about the number of degrees of freedom in strongly coupled CFT (suppressed? Why? What implications for the absent BH on the RS-3 brane?) Can we learn about realistic systems?
