  1. 1. Holographic RG-flows and the Domain-Wall/Cosmology correspondence

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Jean-François Vaduret; [2022]
    Keywords : holography; cosmology; domain-wall; AdS; CFT; correspondence;

    Abstract : In this master thesis we investigate implications of the Domain-Wall/Cosmology (DW/C) correspondence on one-point functions of holographic RG-flows. The thesis gives a detailed computation of linearized gauge-invariant Einstein equations in (d+1) dimensions while making the DW/C correspondence explicit. READ MORE

  3. 2. Aspects of Conformal Field theory

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Axel Agback; [2022]
    Keywords : Conformal field theory; Ising model; minimal models; Quantum field theory;

    Abstract : Quantum field theories are very good at describing the world around us but use complicated computations that cannot always be solved exactly. Introducing conformal symmetry to quantum field theory can reduce this complexity and allow for quite simple calculation in the best case. READ MORE

  4. 3. Electrodynamic field at spatial infinity

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jakob Myhrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Spatial infinity; Conformal rescaling; Minkowski space; Penrose Diagram; Einstein universe; Newman-Penrose formalism; Sigma-process; Resolution of singularities; Maxwell s equations; Cylinder at spatial infinity; Rumslig oändlighet; Konform omskalning; Minkowski rummet; Penrose Diagram; Einsteins universum; Newman-Penrose formalismen; Sigma-processen; Singularitetupplösning; Maxwells ekvationer; Cylindern vid rumslig oändlighet;

    Abstract : The treatment of spatial infinity is one of the remaining major open problems in the theory of isolated self-gravitating systems. Especially when one wants to model scattering of gravitational radiation in spacetime. In this thesis the conformal theory is used to study simple electromagnetic fields, close to spatial infinity.

  5. 4. Spinning Correlators at Finite Temperature

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Oscar Arandes Tejerina; [2022]
    Keywords : Conformal Field Theory; Finite Temperature; Thermal Conformal Blocks; AdS CFT; Mean Field Theory;

    Abstract : This master thesis is framed in the striking correspondence between gravity theories in Anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS) and Conformal Field Theories (CFT). This is usually known as AdS/CFT duality and relates gravity theories in the bulk with CFTs that live in their conformal boundary. READ MORE

  6. 5. Recent Progress on the Black Hole Information Paradox

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Eivind Hilmen Jørstad; [2021]
    Keywords : Black Holes; Hawking Radiation; Entanglement Entropy; Black Hole Information Paradox; Dilaton Gravity; Quasiparticles; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The black hole information paradox is of central importance in the study of quantum gravity. The paradox states that quantum fields surrounding a black hole behave in ways that run into conflict with the unitarity of quantum mechanical time evolution. READ MORE
