00:00:28,260 So last time, we talked about this IR-UV connection 10 00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:31,120 between the bulk and the boundary. 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,810 So the key thing is-- let me write down the metric here, 12 00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:38,230 the Ads metric in this Poincare coordinate. 13 00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:51,190 So this is the boundaries are equal to zero. 14 00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:55,300 And when you increase z, you go to interior. 15 00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:58,650 And then for each constant, z, you 16 00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,240 have a Minkowski space time. 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,880 You have a Minkowski d. 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,670 So this is Ads d plus 1. 19 00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:11,520 So each slice is a d dimension Minkowski space. 20 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,230 And due to this redshift factor, the more 21 00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:20,610 you go to the interior of the space time, 22 00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:22,390 then corresponding to the lower energy 23 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:24,750 process when viewed form the field theory. 24 00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:32,280 So here, the same process is happening here 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,370 compared to happening here, and here corresponding 26 00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:38,350 to the IR process, and the [INAUDIBLE] boundary 27 00:01:38,350 --> 00:01:41,980 corresponding to the UV process. 28 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:49,610 So this is a key relation between the bulk 29 00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:51,500 and the boundary theories. 30 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,480 And also, this gives you an intuitive understanding 31 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,070 where does this actual dimension come from from the field theory 32 00:01:58,070 --> 00:01:59,540 point of view. 33 00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:02,030 Then from the field theory perspective, 34 00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:06,820 this actual dimension can be considered as a geometrization 35 00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:10,720 of the energy scale. 36 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,260 And we know that the physics change with the energy scale 37 00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:16,150 from the field theory point of view. 38 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:18,340 It's called the normalization group flow, 39 00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:22,330 how physics evolves when you change the energy or length 40 00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:23,320 scale. 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,430 In the field theory, it's called normalization group flow. 42 00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:31,610 So you can also view that the evolution in the gravity side, 43 00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:35,320 say from the boundary to the interior, 44 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,670 and that this flow in the z direction 45 00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:44,550 can be considered, again, to geometrize 46 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:46,753 the normalization group flow of the field theory. 47 00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:50,851 So any questions regarding this? 48 00:02:58,831 --> 00:02:59,330 Good. 49 00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:03,725 So now let's talk about some further aspects of the duality. 50 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,460 So the duality is that once you realize 51 00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:14,400 there's such relation, since the two sides are completely 52 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,670 different objects, so the game is that you really 53 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:21,196 have to do lots of guess work. 54 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,430 Essentially, you have two sides if you want 55 00:03:26,430 --> 00:03:28,960 to relate things on two sides. 56 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,710 And you have to do guess work. 57 00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:36,920 How does this quantity translate into that quantity, et cetera? 58 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,410 And then check the consistency. 59 00:03:39,410 --> 00:03:41,940 Just like you don't know two languages, 60 00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:45,180 and then you have to guess between the two languages 61 00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:47,210 and then build up the dictionary. 62 00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:49,300 And we will be doing the same. 63 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:51,968 We will be doing the same. 64 00:03:51,968 --> 00:03:52,468 Good. 65 00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:10,540 So this is more like a review of what we already sad. 66 00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:18,880 So let me be more explicit. 67 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,671 We have N equals 4 super Yang-Mills theory. 68 00:04:26,170 --> 00:04:28,100 We have N equals 4 super Yang-Mills theory. 69 00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:38,930 And then here, you have type IIB string in Ads5 times ds5. 70 00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:41,825 So let me just write down Ads5 just for simplicity. 71 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:54,024 So here on this side, there is a conformal symmetry 72 00:04:54,024 --> 00:04:56,120 which we explained before because this 73 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,640 is a four dimensional theory. 74 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,660 So the conformal symmetry of a d dimensional series SO d, 2. 75 00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:08,570 And on this side, there's precisely 76 00:05:08,570 --> 00:05:15,940 the same group, which is isometry 77 00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:21,265 of Ads5, which is precisely also SO 4, 78 00:05:21,265 --> 00:05:26,440 2, which we reviewed before. 79 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,590 And you can write down the transformation on both sides. 80 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:34,330 In your pset, you have checked some of them, 81 00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:37,230 that they actually one to one correspond to each other. 82 00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:40,440 For example, this special conformal transformation. 83 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,730 And the others, like translation or rotation, et cetera, 84 00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:48,380 it's clear. 85 00:05:48,380 --> 00:05:50,350 AUDIENCE: But being the right hand side, 86 00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:56,486 we still have some SO 5, S5. 87 00:05:56,486 --> 00:05:57,860 HONG LIU: I will talk about that. 88 00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:04,370 So this is more like a space time symmetry. 89 00:06:04,370 --> 00:06:09,592 So this is a space time symmetry. 90 00:06:09,592 --> 00:06:13,930 From field theory point of view, this is a space time symmetry. 91 00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:15,770 So in N equals 4 super Yang-Mills theory, 92 00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:21,010 there's also global symmetry we discussed before. 93 00:06:21,010 --> 00:06:23,850 This is also global symmetry. 94 00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:26,580 But this is global symmetry associated with space time. 95 00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:31,230 And there's also global internal symmetry, 96 00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:32,670 SO6 internal symmetry. 97 00:06:32,670 --> 00:06:34,420 In N equals 4 super Yang-Mills theory, 98 00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:37,170 we discussed last time there are six scalar fields. 99 00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:39,260 You can rotate them each other. 100 00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:42,950 And this can be considered as coming from the D3 brane. 101 00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:46,930 You can rotate six transverse directions 102 00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:54,300 the symmetry in rotating the six transverse directions. 103 00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,640 And on this side, there's exactly the same symmetry. 104 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,340 So now this is isometry of S5. 105 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,660 So the isometry of S5 precisely gives you SO6. 106 00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:11,460 So you have exactly the same SO6. 107 00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,260 And we will not be explicit. 108 00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:22,081 You can also actually map the supersymmetry between them. 109 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,350 You can also map the supersymmetry between them. 110 00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:32,150 So N equals 4 supersymmetry. 111 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:36,990 So there's a 4 supersymmetry, which 112 00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:40,020 just comes from N equal to 4. 113 00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,520 And because we have conformal symmetry, 114 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,800 then the conformal symmetry does not actually 115 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,190 commute with this 4 supersymmetry, 116 00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:51,790 then generate another 4 supersymmetry. 117 00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:56,179 And anyway, so essentially, you have eight supercharge 118 00:07:56,179 --> 00:07:56,970 of the [INAUDIBLE]. 119 00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:02,935 So this all together is 32 real superchargers. 120 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:12,780 So when we say N equal to 4, so this 121 00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:15,990 is N equal to 4 in terms of four dimensional [INAUDIBLE]. 122 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:26,000 So your supersymmetry has four [INAUDIBLE] as the supercharge. 123 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,560 But the conformal symmetry generates another 4. 124 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,570 So all together, you have eight [INAUDIBLE], 125 00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:35,720 four dimensional [INAUDIBLE], as the supercharge. 126 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,653 For each [INAUDIBLE] in four dimensions, 127 00:08:37,653 --> 00:08:38,903 there are how many components? 128 00:08:42,780 --> 00:08:44,834 How many components are there for [INAUDIBLE] 129 00:08:44,834 --> 00:08:45,625 in four dimensions? 130 00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:46,500 AUDIENCE: Four. 131 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:47,150 HONG LIU: Four. 132 00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:50,290 Because the two components, but each component is complex. 133 00:08:50,290 --> 00:08:52,550 And so there are four real components. 134 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:55,990 So all together, you have 32 real charges. 135 00:08:55,990 --> 00:09:00,560 And similarly, you find-- I will not do this side. 136 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:05,955 You find the same amount of supersymmetry. 137 00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:15,730 But in this case, for example, the low energy limit. 138 00:09:15,730 --> 00:09:18,630 Let's just talk about the low energy limit of this theory. 139 00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:20,760 So the low energy limit, as we said before, 140 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,420 just has to be super gravity. 141 00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:26,210 So it has to be super gravity. 142 00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:29,990 Then you find you actually have exactly the same amount 143 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:32,480 of supersymmetry in this geometry. 144 00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:42,170 But the interesting thing is that by definition, 145 00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:45,700 the supersymmetry on the gravity side is actually local. 146 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,200 So you actually have the same amount 147 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,490 of local supersymmetries. 148 00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:09,650 So if you look at this correspondence 149 00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:19,052 between each other, then you actually see a pattern. 150 00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:20,385 So now let me make some remarks. 151 00:10:26,170 --> 00:10:29,570 So if you look at the structure, this math in here, 152 00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:30,387 you see a pattern. 153 00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:35,940 On this side, all these symmetries 154 00:10:35,940 --> 00:10:37,101 are global symmetries. 155 00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:41,510 But on this side, all these symmetries 156 00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:44,880 are local symmetries. 157 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,440 So this, I just said that in super gravity, 158 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,540 the supersymmetry is local. 159 00:10:50,540 --> 00:10:59,080 And the space time isometry is just subset of a space time 160 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,110 coordinate transformation. 161 00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:05,760 And space time coordinate transformation 162 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,810 are local symmetries. 163 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:19,440 So the isometry is a subgroup of diffeomorphism. 164 00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:27,410 So diffeomorphism just means the coordinate transformations. 165 00:11:30,194 --> 00:11:31,485 And these are local symmetries. 166 00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:52,580 Now we find the mapping is on the field theory side, 167 00:11:52,580 --> 00:12:00,820 the global symmetries is mapped on the gravity side 168 00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:02,065 into the local symmetries. 169 00:12:09,810 --> 00:12:12,040 So for each global symmetry in the field theory side, 170 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,498 there's a corresponding local symmetry on the gravity side. 171 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,500 But you may immediately ask the question, on the gravity side, 172 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:26,940 if you talk about diffeomorphism, 173 00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:30,050 then this is a huge group-- certainly much, 174 00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:33,330 much larger than what we are talking about the isometry 175 00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:34,160 here. 176 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,910 So why we are only talking about isometry? 177 00:12:41,334 --> 00:12:43,750 Why we don't talk about other parts of the diffeomorphism, 178 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:44,791 only talk about isometry? 179 00:12:47,579 --> 00:12:49,120 So what's special about the isometry? 180 00:12:52,910 --> 00:12:56,480 So the second remark, why isometry? 181 00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:03,180 Why only isometry? 182 00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:07,230 Why only look at the isometry? 183 00:13:07,230 --> 00:13:09,250 But let me just save time. 184 00:13:14,430 --> 00:13:23,970 So the isometry is important for the following reason. 185 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:29,180 Because even though this is a subgroup-- so as 186 00:13:29,180 --> 00:13:32,480 I mentioned last time, when we talk about quantum gravity, 187 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240 when we talk about string theory and Anti-de Sitter times S5 188 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,140 in terms of AdS5 times S5, you should keep in mind 189 00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:46,091 that this AdS5 times S5 refers to the asymptotic geometry. 190 00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:47,715 Because as a quantum theory, the theory 191 00:13:47,715 --> 00:13:49,020 can fluctuate in the middle. 192 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,540 And the isometry can be considered as a subgroup. 193 00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:03,990 But the level is even though the space time fluctuates, 194 00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:07,940 but the AdS5 times S5 specifies the asymptotic geometry 195 00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:09,080 of the space time. 196 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:19,180 And the isometry is precisely the subgroup 197 00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:34,290 which leaves the asymptotic form of the metric invariant. 198 00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:50,670 So these are not ordinary diffeomorphisms. 199 00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:53,630 So the ordinary diffeomorphisms-- 200 00:14:53,630 --> 00:14:55,260 so ordinary gauge transformations, 201 00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:57,520 let me just say more generally. 202 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,080 By gauge transformations, also means the diffeomorphism 203 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,480 or just general gauge transformations. 204 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,450 So when we talk about gauge transformations, say 205 00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:12,630 for example, in QED or in QCD, et cetera, 206 00:15:12,630 --> 00:15:20,430 we always assume-- so the classical gauge transformation, 207 00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:23,920 we can see that we always take them to be fall off 208 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,310 sufficiently fast at infinity. 209 00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:46,520 When we talk about gauge transformations, 210 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,090 when we talk about the typical diffeomorphisms, 211 00:15:51,090 --> 00:15:53,800 these are the kind of transformations we assume 212 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,110 goes to 1, say, at infinity. 213 00:15:59,850 --> 00:16:03,370 And this isometry, which leaves the asymptotic 214 00:16:03,370 --> 00:16:07,147 over the metric invariant, so these are essentially 215 00:16:07,147 --> 00:16:08,480 the large gauge transformations. 216 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,430 So-called large transformations is 217 00:16:22,430 --> 00:16:26,880 that they don't go to the Identity at infinity. 218 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,770 And of course, this is precisely the large gauge transformations 219 00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:34,580 which leaves the asymptotic invariant. 220 00:16:37,420 --> 00:16:42,310 So in a sense, these large gauge transformations 221 00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:55,800 can be considered as the global part of the diffeomorphism. 222 00:17:17,650 --> 00:17:18,894 So any questions on this? 223 00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:23,810 Yes? 224 00:17:23,810 --> 00:17:27,807 AUDIENCE: What does it mean that those isometries are local? 225 00:17:27,807 --> 00:17:30,292 What do you do with isometry [INAUDIBLE]? 226 00:17:33,274 --> 00:17:36,270 What do you mean when you say that isometries-- 227 00:17:36,270 --> 00:17:38,748 HONG LIU: Yeah. 228 00:17:38,748 --> 00:17:40,456 These are just coordinate transformation. 229 00:17:40,456 --> 00:17:43,090 A coordinate transformation is always defined point by point, 230 00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:45,830 right? 231 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:49,798 Just these are specific coordinate transformations. 232 00:17:49,798 --> 00:17:53,130 AUDIENCE: And what happens to gauge symmetries [INAUDIBLE]? 233 00:17:56,774 --> 00:17:57,440 HONG LIU: Sorry? 234 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,440 AUDIENCE: What happens to gauge transformations 235 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,789 in the Yang-Mills part? 236 00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:02,330 HONG LIU: No. 237 00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:04,330 The gauge transformation in the Yang-Mills part, 238 00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:06,690 you don't see it. 239 00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:08,400 Gauge freedom is just redundant freedom. 240 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,870 You never see it on the other side. 241 00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:16,295 AUDIENCE: Does this list exhaust all symmetries 242 00:18:16,295 --> 00:18:17,570 of the Yang-Mills particle? 243 00:18:17,570 --> 00:18:19,984 HONG LIU: Yeah. 244 00:18:19,984 --> 00:18:23,584 Exhausts all global symmetries in the Yang-Mills theory part. 245 00:18:23,584 --> 00:18:25,876 AUDIENCE: Not local? 246 00:18:25,876 --> 00:18:27,250 HONG LIU: All the global theories 247 00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:30,345 on the Yang-Mills side, and not local symmetries. 248 00:18:30,345 --> 00:18:33,990 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] discuss them, [INAUDIBLE]. 249 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:36,670 HONG LIU: There's a u(n) gauge group there, 250 00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:38,890 but they don't have correspondence in the gravity 251 00:18:38,890 --> 00:18:41,080 side. 252 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840 The reason we don't consider the gauge symmetry, because they 253 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,060 correspond to redundancies and they 254 00:18:46,060 --> 00:18:48,869 don't have to be present on the other side. 255 00:18:48,869 --> 00:18:51,410 You only need to do the physical [INAUDIBLE] to be identical. 256 00:18:51,410 --> 00:18:56,960 And this also is the reason I make this remark here. 257 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,860 Even though all these global symmetries, 258 00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:01,710 they find the corresponding local symmetries 259 00:19:01,710 --> 00:19:04,210 on the gravity side. 260 00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:10,160 But precisely due to this remark, 261 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,160 those things which really map to the global symmetries 262 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,850 in the field theory can be considered 263 00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:20,759 as a global part of the local symmetries on the gravity side. 264 00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,550 So even on the gravity side, in some sense, 265 00:19:22,550 --> 00:19:24,750 you should think of them as global symmetries. 266 00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:30,622 And they are large gauge transformations. 267 00:19:30,622 --> 00:19:32,330 Because the ordinary gauge transformation 268 00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:36,290 is just corresponding to redundancy 269 00:19:36,290 --> 00:19:37,490 of degrees of freedom. 270 00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:40,265 And that should not be reflected on the other side. 271 00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:42,640 AUDIENCE: What do you mean by large gauge transformation? 272 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,140 HONG LIU: Large gauge transformation 273 00:19:44,140 --> 00:19:47,800 means the gauge transformations which don't vanish at infinity. 274 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,980 So the ordinary gauge transformation, 275 00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:55,400 just like in QED, in quantum electrodynamics, when we talk 276 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,600 about gauge transformation. 277 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,490 The gauge transformations we consider all the gauge 278 00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:02,842 transformations which go to zero at infinity. 279 00:20:02,842 --> 00:20:04,800 And if you consider those gauge transformations 280 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,860 which don't go to zero at infinity, 281 00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:09,210 and that's what we call large gauge transformations. 282 00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:11,460 And those large gauge transformations essentially 283 00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:16,510 is like the global part of the u(1) gauge symmetry, 284 00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:18,190 in some sense can be considered as. 285 00:20:21,130 --> 00:20:25,980 AUDIENCE: But that is the gauge symmetry being gravity side. 286 00:20:25,980 --> 00:20:27,010 HONG LIU: That's right. 287 00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:33,380 So this is the part of the gauge symmetry on the gravity side. 288 00:20:33,380 --> 00:20:36,510 But the part corresponding to the boundary 289 00:20:36,510 --> 00:20:38,245 is the part associated with the infinity. 290 00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:47,270 AUDIENCE: Here in isometry of AdS5, 291 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,580 we were showing, like in p-set, it's 292 00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:51,980 point to point local symmetry. 293 00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:55,260 It's like just a space time point. 294 00:20:55,260 --> 00:21:01,360 But how about this conform in this Yang-Mills theory? 295 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:06,430 What is the symmetry of the object? 296 00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:08,660 What kind of object does this symmetry correspond 297 00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:09,884 to because it seems-- 298 00:21:09,884 --> 00:21:11,300 HONG LIU: It's conformal symmetry. 299 00:21:16,010 --> 00:21:19,635 AUDIENCE: Conformal symmetry of the component of the field? 300 00:21:19,635 --> 00:21:20,510 HONG LIU: No, no, no. 301 00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:23,745 It's the conformal symmetry of the Minkowski space. 302 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,277 So on this side, you have isometry of AdS. 303 00:21:29,277 --> 00:21:31,193 On the other side, you have conformal symmetry 304 00:21:31,193 --> 00:21:33,052 of the Minkowski space. 305 00:21:33,052 --> 00:21:35,510 So you're asking what are you corresponding to on the field 306 00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:36,710 theory side, right? 307 00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:39,550 So that's mapped to the conformal symmetry 308 00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,547 of the Minkowski space. 309 00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:50,500 AUDIENCE: So the isometry is actually 310 00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,004 large gauge transformations. 311 00:21:52,004 --> 00:21:52,670 HONG LIU: Right. 312 00:21:57,007 --> 00:21:58,590 So the story actually is more general. 313 00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:05,075 So the story actually works more general. 314 00:22:05,075 --> 00:22:07,533 This is the statement for the N equal to 4 super Yang-Mills 315 00:22:07,533 --> 00:22:09,170 theory. 316 00:22:09,170 --> 00:22:10,380 So the story is more general. 317 00:22:22,030 --> 00:22:27,730 So in the case which you have, say, more general, 318 00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:32,640 say duality between a CFT in d dimensions 319 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:43,855 in Minkowski d with the AdS d plus 1 dimensional gravity. 320 00:22:47,108 --> 00:22:52,270 In any such duality, then you always have the conformal 321 00:22:52,270 --> 00:23:00,150 symmetry, which is SO(d, 2) on this here mapped to AdS 322 00:23:00,150 --> 00:23:00,650 isometry. 323 00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:11,720 And any internal gauge symmetry, say 324 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,080 if you have some u(s) global symmetry here, 325 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:25,320 then this will be mapped into a u(1) gauge symmetry. 326 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,750 Again, in the sense that this u(s) global symmetry can 327 00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:40,640 be considered as the global part of this u(1) gauge symmetry, 328 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,443 the part which does not vanish at infinity. 329 00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:51,450 And it's always the case that global supersymmetry here 330 00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:57,020 would be corresponding to the local supersymmetry here. 331 00:23:57,020 --> 00:23:59,870 And also in exactly the sense that 332 00:23:59,870 --> 00:24:03,500 even for the local supersymmetric transformation 333 00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,370 in the gravity side, there's also 334 00:24:05,370 --> 00:24:07,586 a part which does not vanish at infinity. 335 00:24:07,586 --> 00:24:08,960 And that's the part corresponding 336 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,770 to the global supersymmetry on the field theory side. 337 00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:16,350 Yes? 338 00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:21,924 AUDIENCE: What are the fermions supersymmetry on the AdS side? 339 00:24:21,924 --> 00:24:22,590 HONG LIU: Sorry? 340 00:24:22,590 --> 00:24:25,310 AUDIENCE: In the low energy limit on the AdS part, 341 00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:29,260 what are the fermion supersymmetry? 342 00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:32,700 HONG LIU: It's the same thing. 343 00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:34,450 What do you mean, what about fermions? 344 00:24:34,450 --> 00:24:37,042 So there will be some fermions. 345 00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:39,018 AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] fermions? 346 00:24:39,018 --> 00:24:42,480 So there is more than gravitons on the AdS side 347 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,820 involved in low energy limits? 348 00:24:43,820 --> 00:24:44,490 HONG LIU: Yeah. 349 00:24:44,490 --> 00:24:46,910 There are gravitons, and there are also some fermions. 350 00:24:46,910 --> 00:24:48,535 There's something called a [INAUDIBLE]. 351 00:24:48,535 --> 00:24:51,420 There are some other fermions, et cetera. 352 00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:54,569 AUDIENCE: Is it they who carry the u(1) gauge charge? 353 00:24:54,569 --> 00:24:55,110 HONG LIU: No. 354 00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:56,090 Here is more general. 355 00:24:58,890 --> 00:25:06,430 In this case, indeed-- so this isometry of S5, 356 00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:11,740 once you deduce to AdS5, that just again becomes a gauge 357 00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:13,860 symmetry, SO(6) gauge symmetry. 358 00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:19,170 And some fermions indeed are charged on this SO(6) gauge 359 00:25:19,170 --> 00:25:21,440 symmetry. 360 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,540 And here, it's just more general. 361 00:25:23,540 --> 00:25:27,540 So whatever things, anytime if you have some global symmetry 362 00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:32,900 here should be mapped to some gauge symmetry here. 363 00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:37,742 And we will say this a little bit more a little bit later. 364 00:25:37,742 --> 00:25:39,075 Do you have any other questions? 365 00:25:41,730 --> 00:25:45,720 So now let's move to the matching of parameters. 366 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,850 Again, this is more like a review 367 00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:53,070 of what we discussed before. 368 00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:02,780 And again, first N equals to 4 super Yang-Mills theory. 369 00:26:02,780 --> 00:26:06,780 And then this is type IIB on AdS5 times S5. 370 00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,870 So previously we said, from the relation of the d-brane, 371 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:19,530 so the G Yang-Mills square here is related to the 4 pi GS 372 00:26:19,530 --> 00:26:22,070 here, string coupling. 373 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:25,780 And also, from the d3-brane solution, 374 00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:29,310 we find is that the G Yang-Mills square-- 375 00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:33,290 we find, for example, here the curvature radius 376 00:26:33,290 --> 00:26:41,090 R has the following form, 4 pi GS and alpha prime squared. 377 00:26:41,090 --> 00:26:45,810 So the N is the same N on this side. 378 00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:54,000 So the N is the gauge group N. I should say the flux N. Anyway, 379 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,140 let me add something. 380 00:26:57,140 --> 00:27:00,230 So the N is the number of d-branes on this side which 381 00:27:00,230 --> 00:27:02,880 translate into the flux. 382 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,050 So the flux N. And then here is corresponding 383 00:27:06,050 --> 00:27:06,800 to you have SU(N). 384 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,670 So this R, this curvature radius is 385 00:27:14,670 --> 00:27:18,770 related to the alpha prime squared and the gs in this way. 386 00:27:18,770 --> 00:27:25,760 And so on this side, the dimension parameter 387 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,680 is given by R squared divided by alpha prime. 388 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,800 So if you look at this relation, if you 389 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,960 look at alpha prime 4 to alpha prime squared, 390 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,890 then you find this is just relating the alpha. 391 00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:42,440 From this relation, 4 pi GS is equal just 392 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,260 to G Yang-Mills square. 393 00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:47,622 And the N is N. This is the relation 394 00:27:47,622 --> 00:27:48,580 between the parameters. 395 00:27:58,512 --> 00:27:59,720 Any questions regarding this? 396 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,950 So on the gravity side, we said these are the two parameters. 397 00:28:11,950 --> 00:28:14,410 And of course, you also have this N. 398 00:28:14,410 --> 00:28:17,940 But these are the two basic parameters. 399 00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:22,610 And we can also, instead of using GS, 400 00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:26,190 as we said before, you can also use the Newton constant. 401 00:28:26,190 --> 00:28:28,860 So the 10 dimensional Newton constant 402 00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:31,510 is length dimension eight. 403 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:35,950 Then the dimensionless parameter would be GN divided by R 404 00:28:35,950 --> 00:28:36,875 to the power 8. 405 00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:44,529 And the GN is related to the GS and alpha prime 406 00:28:44,529 --> 00:28:45,195 by this formula. 407 00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:53,105 So now you can just use the relation between the GS 408 00:28:53,105 --> 00:28:57,550 to exactly translate this into Yang-Mills coupling. 409 00:28:57,550 --> 00:29:00,140 You just can use this relation and then use 410 00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:03,000 that to translate this into the parameter in the Yang-Mills 411 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,620 theory side. 412 00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:08,340 Then you find, once you plug all those relations in, 413 00:29:08,340 --> 00:29:11,890 how the GS and alpha prime, et cetera related to N, 414 00:29:11,890 --> 00:29:15,360 then you find here actually, G Yang-Mills 415 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,750 have disappeared in this relation. 416 00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:21,900 What you find is that the Newton constant essentially just 417 00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:24,730 related to 1 over N squared. 418 00:29:24,730 --> 00:29:29,710 Up to some parameter, just related to 1 over N squared. 419 00:29:29,710 --> 00:29:33,121 So if you're expanding G Newton, just like expanding 1 over N 420 00:29:33,121 --> 00:29:33,621 squared. 421 00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:49,880 So as we said before, we often do dimensional reduction on S5. 422 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,720 Let me get a five dimensional Newton constant. 423 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,220 So five dimensional Newton constant 424 00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,770 is equal to the 10 dimensional Newton constant. 425 00:30:06,770 --> 00:30:09,370 And the difference is the volume of S5. 426 00:30:18,340 --> 00:30:20,440 We wrote this down before. 427 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:29,350 And the S5 is equal to pi cubed R to the power fifth. 428 00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:32,940 And then from here, you can just work out. 429 00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:36,578 So G5 has dimension 3. 430 00:30:36,578 --> 00:30:41,930 Then G5 divided by R cubed, again only related to N given 431 00:30:41,930 --> 00:30:43,540 by pi divided by 2N squared. 432 00:30:53,450 --> 00:30:55,730 So these relations are often useful in the future. 433 00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:17,275 So now let's look at [INAUDIBLE] limits of this relation. 434 00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:23,680 So let's first look at the classical gravity 435 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,950 limit on the gravity side. 436 00:31:37,601 --> 00:31:42,860 As we discussed at the beginning of this class, by classic, 437 00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:47,870 we always use h bar equal to 1. 438 00:31:47,870 --> 00:31:49,913 So our h bar is always equal to 1. 439 00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:57,850 But quantum gravity is captured by this parameter, 440 00:31:57,850 --> 00:32:00,590 h bar times GN. 441 00:32:00,590 --> 00:32:04,250 So even though h bar equal to 1, in the limit when 442 00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:07,240 GN goes to zero, then you are in the regime 443 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,330 in which you can ignore the quantum gravity effect. 444 00:32:10,330 --> 00:32:13,950 So that's what we mean by the classical gravity limit 445 00:32:13,950 --> 00:32:16,890 is that this should go to zero, and then alpha prime 446 00:32:16,890 --> 00:32:19,410 should go to zero. 447 00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:22,450 So this means the string effect is not important. 448 00:32:22,450 --> 00:32:28,120 And this is all in the unit of R. 449 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,630 And here, when I write these relations, 450 00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:35,030 I have all set h bar equal to 1. 451 00:32:35,030 --> 00:32:37,130 So when I say the classical gravity limit, 452 00:32:37,130 --> 00:32:40,590 which is this limit in which h bar equal to 1, 453 00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:44,940 but the effect of the Newton constant goes to zero. 454 00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:49,160 And the reason I emphasize it is that if you have some matter 455 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,330 field in this geometry, then those matter fields should 456 00:32:55,330 --> 00:32:58,230 be treated as full quantum. 457 00:32:58,230 --> 00:33:01,712 Just don't treat the gravity as quantum, 458 00:33:01,712 --> 00:33:04,420 but those matter fields should be treated as quantum. 459 00:33:04,420 --> 00:33:05,830 So the classical gravity limit is 460 00:33:05,830 --> 00:33:11,495 the same as QFT, Quantum Field Theory in curved space time. 461 00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:19,250 So gravity does not fluctuate. 462 00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:22,180 So you have rigid curved space time. 463 00:33:22,180 --> 00:33:26,840 But your matter field can fluctuate, h bar equal to 1. 464 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,110 So essentially, we are dealing with quantum field 465 00:33:30,110 --> 00:33:32,410 theory in curved space time. 466 00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:38,430 So in the type IIB super gravity, 467 00:33:38,430 --> 00:33:40,920 there are many, many such kind of matter fields, 468 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,560 and they all should be treated quantum mechanically. 469 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,940 It's just that you should consider this small. 470 00:33:51,940 --> 00:33:55,300 So let's consider what this means. 471 00:33:55,300 --> 00:34:01,140 So GN small as a dimensionless parameter, 472 00:34:01,140 --> 00:34:06,540 this translates into field theory side 473 00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:08,409 if we use this relation. 474 00:34:08,409 --> 00:34:11,130 So that means N goes to infinity. 475 00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:14,475 So this is the large N limit of the Yang-Mills theory. 476 00:34:14,475 --> 00:34:16,600 This is the large N limit of the Yang-Mills theory. 477 00:34:19,179 --> 00:34:20,783 And then alpha prime goes to zero. 478 00:34:25,170 --> 00:34:29,620 From the relation between the alpha prime and here, 479 00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:33,819 when alpha prime goes to zero, so this is in the downstairs. 480 00:34:33,819 --> 00:34:35,610 Then that means this should go to infinity. 481 00:34:38,190 --> 00:34:43,020 So this is the t Hooft coupling we defined before. 482 00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:45,390 So this means the t Hooft coupling goes to infinity. 483 00:34:52,909 --> 00:34:54,677 So now we see a remarkable relation. 484 00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:08,490 So this is what we expect. 485 00:35:08,490 --> 00:35:12,080 If you still remember what we did before in the large N gauge 486 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,600 theory, in the large N gauge theory in the large N limit, 487 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,100 the fluctuations become very small, et cetera. 488 00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:21,160 So this is consistent that on the gravity side, 489 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,990 the fluctuation in the geometry is very small. 490 00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:33,890 And now, we see that the decoupling of the string effect 491 00:35:33,890 --> 00:35:38,530 requires on the field theory side the strong coupling. 492 00:35:38,530 --> 00:35:42,410 This is also something roughly we said before. 493 00:35:42,410 --> 00:35:49,710 Remember, when we talked about large N gauge theory, 494 00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:51,640 large N gauge theory, you have planar diagram, 495 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,040 non-planar diagram, et cetera. 496 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,930 And at each level, say at the planar diagram, 497 00:35:57,930 --> 00:36:01,380 you need to sum over infinite number of [INAUDIBLE] diagrams 498 00:36:01,380 --> 00:36:04,499 which are all planar topology. 499 00:36:04,499 --> 00:36:07,040 And if you look at just those [INAUDIBLE] diagrams, of course 500 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,009 you don't see a space time interpretation 501 00:36:11,009 --> 00:36:12,800 because they are just [INAUDIBLE] diagrams. 502 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,080 You don't see a continuous surface. 503 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,080 And I already alluded before that the continuous surface 504 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,089 can emerge if that diagram becomes 505 00:36:23,089 --> 00:36:24,130 sufficiently complicated. 506 00:36:26,936 --> 00:36:29,310 And the way to make that diagram sufficiently complicated 507 00:36:29,310 --> 00:36:32,330 is to make it to be a strong coupling. 508 00:36:32,330 --> 00:36:34,910 The strong coupling, then the diagram 509 00:36:34,910 --> 00:36:37,670 with many, many vertices will dominate. 510 00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:40,470 And then the most dominated diagrams are those diagrams 511 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:42,000 with not a lot of vertices. 512 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,600 And they essentially are going to continue to limits. 513 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,070 And so this relation [INAUDIBLE] realizes 514 00:36:50,070 --> 00:36:52,380 that kind of intuition. 515 00:36:52,380 --> 00:36:56,230 If you don't remember, go back to your loads regarding 516 00:36:56,230 --> 00:36:57,280 the large N gauge theory. 517 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,140 So this relation is also remarkable 518 00:37:04,140 --> 00:37:07,350 for the following reason. 519 00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,620 Because this limit on the gravity side is simple, 520 00:37:09,620 --> 00:37:12,540 we can just deal with quantum field 521 00:37:12,540 --> 00:37:16,610 theory in the curved space time, which we know how to do. 522 00:37:16,610 --> 00:37:18,640 But on this side, it's highly non-trivial 523 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,030 because this is an infinite coupling limit. 524 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:31,860 So this will tell you that the strong coupling limit is 525 00:37:31,860 --> 00:37:40,354 described by classical gravity. 526 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,340 So that means that we can actually use classical gravity 527 00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:59,404 to, in principle, solve problems which are strongly coupled. 528 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,470 So also, of course, there are corrections beyond this. 529 00:38:13,710 --> 00:38:24,610 So quantum gravity corrections on this side, 530 00:38:24,610 --> 00:38:26,760 so this is a classical gravity limit 531 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,400 if you take those parameters to go to zero. 532 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,620 But suppose those parameters are not zero, just small. 533 00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:35,110 Then you can just expand in those parameters. 534 00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:39,540 For example, can you expand in GN divided by 8. 535 00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:42,760 And that expansion essentially gives you quantum gravity 536 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,600 corrections [INAUDIBLE]. 537 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:51,055 And now, from this relation, the expansion of GN 538 00:38:51,055 --> 00:38:53,290 then is translated. 539 00:38:53,290 --> 00:39:00,470 So this is expansion in G Newton. 540 00:39:00,470 --> 00:39:02,390 So from that relation, we see this 541 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:07,170 has become the expansion 1 over N squared in the field theory 542 00:39:07,170 --> 00:39:07,670 side. 543 00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:24,096 Just expansion 1 over N squared. 544 00:39:29,850 --> 00:39:33,500 So on this side, you can also take into account 545 00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,780 that the alpha prime is non-zero. 546 00:39:36,780 --> 00:39:41,030 Then the alpha prime corrections in the expansion 547 00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:41,735 in alpha prime. 548 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:50,180 So from this relation, translates in the expansion 1 549 00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:51,180 over square root lambda. 550 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:03,321 So in principle, the corrections beyond this limit 551 00:40:03,321 --> 00:40:07,220 can again be studied on the gravity side. 552 00:40:07,220 --> 00:40:09,400 And then the 1 over square root lambda corrections 553 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,510 then corresponding to the string G corrections. 554 00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:14,802 And the 1 over N squared corrections corresponding 555 00:40:14,802 --> 00:40:16,260 to the quantum gravity corrections. 556 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,980 So this is the classical limit. 557 00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:26,780 You also can see the classical string 558 00:40:26,780 --> 00:40:32,050 limit we considered before, we discussed before. 559 00:40:32,050 --> 00:40:34,640 In the classical string limit, still you 560 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:40,450 can see the N go to infinity, which corresponds to GN. 561 00:40:40,450 --> 00:40:43,240 R8 goes to 0. 562 00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:46,156 But here, the alpha prime can be arbitrary. 563 00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,980 And here the [INAUDIBLE] coupling can be arbitrary. 564 00:40:56,980 --> 00:40:58,160 So it can be finite. 565 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:03,490 So let me just say alpha prime finite no longer zero. 566 00:41:03,490 --> 00:41:06,950 And then this is just corresponding to lambda finite, 567 00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:11,140 which is no longer infinite. 568 00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:16,980 So this is just a standard t Hooft limit, 569 00:41:16,980 --> 00:41:22,370 which we take N go to infinity but keep lambda to be finite. 570 00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:25,530 Standard t Hooft limit, which we talked about before 571 00:41:25,530 --> 00:41:28,930 in the large N gauge theory. 572 00:41:28,930 --> 00:41:30,669 And then again, the corrections in GN 573 00:41:30,669 --> 00:41:32,335 will be corrections in 1 over N squared. 574 00:41:43,690 --> 00:41:44,840 So any questions? 575 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:45,410 Yes? 576 00:41:45,410 --> 00:41:50,479 AUDIENCE: Doesn't small alpha over R squared mean large GS? 577 00:41:50,479 --> 00:41:51,020 HONG LIU: No. 578 00:41:51,020 --> 00:41:52,311 That has nothing to do with GS. 579 00:41:55,261 --> 00:41:56,802 These are two independent parameters. 580 00:42:00,536 --> 00:42:05,619 AUDIENCE: But expression parentheses, so there's also N. 581 00:42:05,619 --> 00:42:06,410 HONG LIU: This is-- 582 00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:15,100 AUDIENCE: So in the classical [INAUDIBLE], 583 00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:18,565 it means that since lambda is finite, 584 00:42:18,565 --> 00:42:22,520 so this means G Yang-Mills is 0. 585 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:23,250 HONG LIU: Sorry. 586 00:42:23,250 --> 00:42:27,750 AUDIENCE: I mean lambda is finite, so G Yang-Mills is 0 587 00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:29,310 and it means weak coupling. 588 00:42:29,310 --> 00:42:30,950 HONG LIU: No. 589 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:38,490 That's what we discussed before in the large N gauge theory. 590 00:42:38,490 --> 00:42:42,220 The effective coupling is lambda. 591 00:42:42,220 --> 00:42:50,030 Lambda is your effective coupling in the large N limit. 592 00:42:50,030 --> 00:42:53,030 AUDIENCE: When you draw the diagram, [INAUDIBLE]. 593 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:53,950 HONG LIU: Yeah. 594 00:42:53,950 --> 00:42:56,775 So the lambda is your coupling. 595 00:42:56,775 --> 00:43:01,280 The G Yang-Mills indeed, in the t Hooft limit, 596 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,050 the G Yang-Mills will go to 0 when N goes to infinity. 597 00:43:05,050 --> 00:43:09,680 But G Yang-Mills is not the right parameter 598 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,564 to look at things. 599 00:43:16,652 --> 00:43:17,485 Any other questions? 600 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,470 OK, good. 601 00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:25,187 So now we can move on further. 602 00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:49,352 We can talk about the matching of the spectrum on two sides. 603 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,800 So from now on, I will just restrict to essentially 604 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,760 the semi classical. 605 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,940 Here I should call semi classical gravity limit 606 00:44:06,940 --> 00:44:10,120 because we still treat the matter fields essentially 607 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:10,690 as quantum. 608 00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:15,680 So we call it semi classical gravity limit. 609 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,100 So from now on, so we will mostly 610 00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:20,590 just consider the semi classical gravity 611 00:44:20,590 --> 00:44:23,580 regime in the gravity side. 612 00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:26,240 Because essentially, we know very little 613 00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:31,090 about the string theory in this geometry. 614 00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:38,580 And also, I will often use the phrase 615 00:44:38,580 --> 00:44:41,170 which applies to the general correspondence, 616 00:44:41,170 --> 00:44:44,750 and not necessarily just N equal to 4 super Yang-Mills theory 617 00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:48,504 and the type IIB string theory. 618 00:44:48,504 --> 00:44:50,170 I just use the language assuming there's 619 00:44:50,170 --> 00:44:53,690 a general correspondence between some conformal field theory 620 00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:55,415 and some AdS gravity theory. 621 00:45:02,570 --> 00:45:06,320 So if the two theories have to be the same, 622 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,770 two sides have to be the same, then 623 00:45:08,770 --> 00:45:10,962 you should be able to map their spectrum. 624 00:45:10,962 --> 00:45:13,170 So you should be able to map their [INAUDIBLE] space, 625 00:45:13,170 --> 00:45:13,731 for example. 626 00:45:17,310 --> 00:45:22,180 So again, [INAUDIBLE] now use the general language 627 00:45:22,180 --> 00:45:24,032 of the boundary and the [INAUDIBLE]. 628 00:45:46,130 --> 00:45:50,220 So the boundary theory is a conformal theory 629 00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:51,648 with this symmetry. 630 00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:58,270 So for the moment, I don't have [INAUDIBLE] symmetry. 631 00:45:58,270 --> 00:46:08,900 So that means that [INAUDIBLE] space should be organized 632 00:46:08,900 --> 00:46:21,436 as the representations of the conformal group, 633 00:46:21,436 --> 00:46:22,310 say of this SO(d, 2). 634 00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:31,800 And similarly here, because here, the SO(d, 635 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,400 2) is the isometry group which lives in infinite invariants. 636 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,490 And again, you should be able to organize your [INAUDIBLE] space 637 00:46:41,490 --> 00:46:45,940 using the representations of the SO(d, 2). 638 00:46:45,940 --> 00:46:50,020 And those representations, of course, should be the same. 639 00:46:50,020 --> 00:46:52,150 So if there's one representation here, 640 00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:54,360 then there must be a [INAUDIBLE] representation here. 641 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,400 And if there's two [INAUDIBLE] representations here, 642 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,920 there would be two identical representations here. 643 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,550 The representations must match. 644 00:47:03,550 --> 00:47:13,690 And on the boundary side, the local operators 645 00:47:13,690 --> 00:47:16,120 should also transform on the representations 646 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,660 of the conformal symmetry. 647 00:47:18,660 --> 00:47:29,920 And again, they conform local operators can also 648 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,980 be mapped to, say, the field on the gravity side. 649 00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:46,052 So on the gravity side, the fields should also transform 650 00:47:46,052 --> 00:47:50,510 under this SO(d, 2) isometry. 651 00:47:50,510 --> 00:47:52,590 That means that it should be a one to one 652 00:47:52,590 --> 00:47:56,290 correspondence between the local operators here 653 00:47:56,290 --> 00:48:00,800 and the bulk fields on the gravity side. 654 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,570 There should be a one to one correspondence on this side. 655 00:48:04,570 --> 00:48:13,540 For example, in the boundary, if there is some scalar operator, 656 00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:15,850 there must be a corresponding scalar 657 00:48:15,850 --> 00:48:17,348 field on the gravity side. 658 00:48:21,820 --> 00:48:25,940 Similarly, if there is some vector operator in the boundary 659 00:48:25,940 --> 00:48:30,430 theory, there must be a corresponding bulk vector 660 00:48:30,430 --> 00:48:34,190 field in the gravity side. 661 00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:37,730 And similarly, if you have some symmetric tensor, 662 00:48:37,730 --> 00:48:42,000 then this must also be related to some symmetric tensor. 663 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,470 So now I will often use the notation that I've used. 664 00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:47,820 Mu mu refers to the boundary indices. 665 00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:53,080 And the capital M, capital N refers to the bulk indices. 666 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,980 Because they are on different dimensions. 667 00:48:55,980 --> 00:48:58,165 So then they are not quite the same. 668 00:49:00,709 --> 00:49:01,875 AUDIENCE: I have a question. 669 00:49:01,875 --> 00:49:03,510 HONG LIU: One second. 670 00:49:03,510 --> 00:49:05,440 Let me just finish. 671 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,780 So here, I'm just talking about the conformal symmetries. 672 00:49:08,780 --> 00:49:11,890 And if the theory has some other symmetries, 673 00:49:11,890 --> 00:49:18,530 say some global symmetries or supersymmetries, then again, 674 00:49:18,530 --> 00:49:21,330 all those fields and the state, they 675 00:49:21,330 --> 00:49:23,760 should transform on the representations 676 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:24,820 of those symmetries. 677 00:49:24,820 --> 00:49:27,600 And again, they should all match together. 678 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,240 They should all match together. 679 00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:31,230 Yes? 680 00:49:31,230 --> 00:49:40,430 AUDIENCE: So we proved that the super Yang-Mills theory really 681 00:49:40,430 --> 00:49:42,729 lives on the boundary of the AdS? 682 00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:43,270 HONG LIU: No. 683 00:49:43,270 --> 00:49:44,910 We did not prove that. 684 00:49:44,910 --> 00:49:46,010 This is just a postulate. 685 00:49:50,580 --> 00:49:54,087 First, let me just repeat again. 686 00:49:56,950 --> 00:50:01,350 Yang-Mills theory lives on Minkowski space. 687 00:50:01,350 --> 00:50:05,160 And it's just an observation that the Minkowski space 688 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,010 is the boundary of AdS. 689 00:50:08,010 --> 00:50:13,530 And then you say you can imagine that this is the boundary, 690 00:50:13,530 --> 00:50:16,700 this relation is related to the bulk and the boundary. 691 00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:18,916 And this is a postulate based on that fact. 692 00:50:23,055 --> 00:50:23,554 Yes? 693 00:50:26,220 --> 00:50:29,354 AUDIENCE: I thought one of the motivations for thinking 694 00:50:29,354 --> 00:50:31,020 about the holographic duality was to try 695 00:50:31,020 --> 00:50:32,860 to escape [INAUDIBLE] theorem. 696 00:50:35,596 --> 00:50:37,910 And all of a sudden, it strikes me, 697 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:42,544 so we're trying to get on the boundary spin 698 00:50:42,544 --> 00:50:43,460 to massless particles. 699 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,015 Then they will also exist in the bulk. 700 00:50:49,015 --> 00:50:49,681 HONG LIU: Sorry. 701 00:50:51,875 --> 00:50:53,250 In the field theory side, there's 702 00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:54,644 no massless spin to particles. 703 00:50:57,490 --> 00:50:59,740 They map to some field in the gravity side in the five 704 00:50:59,740 --> 00:51:00,850 dimensions. 705 00:51:00,850 --> 00:51:03,990 So this is some four dimensional operator. 706 00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:06,913 Then this maps to some five dimensional fields. 707 00:51:06,913 --> 00:51:09,680 AUDIENCE: I need to think about my question better. 708 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,172 HONG LIU: Yes? 709 00:51:14,172 --> 00:51:16,130 AUDIENCE: So if it's a postulate that-- I mean, 710 00:51:16,130 --> 00:51:20,797 it's not required that the theory live on the boundary. 711 00:51:20,797 --> 00:51:23,380 It seems that that's just sort of a convenient way of thinking 712 00:51:23,380 --> 00:51:24,070 about it. 713 00:51:24,070 --> 00:51:26,784 But what implications would it have if it actually 714 00:51:26,784 --> 00:51:27,700 lived on the boundary? 715 00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:29,360 Would it change anything? 716 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,650 HONG LIU: That's what I said before. 717 00:51:31,650 --> 00:51:35,890 So this discussion does not depend on that. 718 00:51:35,890 --> 00:51:39,190 This discussion does not depend on that. 719 00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:42,410 You can say I don't need to worry about that whether this 720 00:51:42,410 --> 00:51:44,790 is on the boundary or bulk, et cetera. 721 00:51:44,790 --> 00:51:46,950 These are just some different theories. 722 00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:48,229 I want them to be the same. 723 00:51:48,229 --> 00:51:48,895 AUDIENCE: Right. 724 00:51:48,895 --> 00:51:50,200 OK. 725 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,840 HONG LIU: But, as I said last time, if you believe this bulk 726 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,370 and boundary relation, then this is powerful 727 00:51:58,370 --> 00:52:00,220 because then, you can immediately 728 00:52:00,220 --> 00:52:06,710 deduce that the Yang-Mills theory on the S3 times time 729 00:52:06,710 --> 00:52:10,760 then is related to the gravity theory in the global AdS. 730 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,090 And that is a nontrivial prediction 731 00:52:14,090 --> 00:52:18,090 from thinking the boundary and the bulk relation. 732 00:52:18,090 --> 00:52:21,960 Now you can generalize it. 733 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,780 Because if I just look at this relation, 734 00:52:23,780 --> 00:52:27,630 I have no reason to suspect why. 735 00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:30,460 You can argue from the symmetry point of view also, 736 00:52:30,460 --> 00:52:33,270 but that language is more direct. 737 00:52:40,484 --> 00:52:44,820 In principle, after establishing the relation 738 00:52:44,820 --> 00:52:47,530 between the Yang-Mills theory in Minkowski space time 739 00:52:47,530 --> 00:52:51,940 and this gravity in the Poincare patch, 740 00:52:51,940 --> 00:52:56,380 I may also, just based on the group theory aspect, 741 00:52:56,380 --> 00:53:01,540 to say that should generalize to the Yang-Mills theory 742 00:53:01,540 --> 00:53:04,920 on the S sphere and the global AdS. 743 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,620 You may also be able to do it that way. 744 00:53:07,620 --> 00:53:10,140 But thinking from the holographic point of view 745 00:53:10,140 --> 00:53:14,580 will give you a direct way to argue that, 746 00:53:14,580 --> 00:53:17,035 give you an alternative way to argue that. 747 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,080 Also, in your p-set, you have checked this holographic bound. 748 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,230 And so that's a confirmation of this. 749 00:53:27,230 --> 00:53:27,870 Yes? 750 00:53:27,870 --> 00:53:29,630 AUDIENCE: So what does the massless [INAUDIBLE] field 751 00:53:29,630 --> 00:53:32,255 on the right map to if it's the same representation of SO(d, 752 00:53:32,255 --> 00:53:33,824 2)? 753 00:53:33,824 --> 00:53:34,490 HONG LIU: Sorry. 754 00:53:34,490 --> 00:53:35,320 Say it again. 755 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,372 AUDIENCE: So in the representation line, 756 00:53:38,372 --> 00:53:40,830 so if you have the massless [INAUDIBLE] field on the right, 757 00:53:40,830 --> 00:53:43,185 what does it map to on the left? 758 00:53:43,185 --> 00:53:43,810 HONG LIU: Yeah. 759 00:53:43,810 --> 00:53:45,510 We are going to talk about it. 760 00:53:45,510 --> 00:53:46,837 We are going to talk about it. 761 00:53:57,056 --> 00:53:58,430 So if there are other symmetries, 762 00:53:58,430 --> 00:54:01,260 then everything should match. 763 00:54:01,260 --> 00:54:04,590 So now, as an immediate check, you 764 00:54:04,590 --> 00:54:09,180 can now just open your old papers. 765 00:54:09,180 --> 00:54:12,670 And if you load them-- because in the '80s, 766 00:54:12,670 --> 00:54:16,520 people have worked out the supergravity spectrum 767 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,110 precisely on this space. 768 00:54:20,110 --> 00:54:25,530 So even though this relation was discovered in '97, actually 769 00:54:25,530 --> 00:54:28,730 in the '80s, people already worked a lot 770 00:54:28,730 --> 00:54:32,170 to consider this type to be supergravity on this space. 771 00:54:32,170 --> 00:54:34,320 Because this is a maximally supersymmetric space, 772 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,170 et cetera. 773 00:54:35,170 --> 00:54:39,955 Anyway, so people have already spent lots of trouble 774 00:54:39,955 --> 00:54:42,920 to actually work out that spectrum. 775 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,010 And now you can just open their paper. 776 00:54:46,010 --> 00:54:50,110 Then there's a big table about the different fields 777 00:54:50,110 --> 00:54:52,630 and their representations, et cetera. 778 00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:55,710 And then you can immediately see they actually 779 00:54:55,710 --> 00:55:02,550 map to certain representation of operators on the N equal to 4 780 00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:03,550 super Yang-Mills theory. 781 00:55:03,550 --> 00:55:05,049 Then you can immediately check them. 782 00:55:07,540 --> 00:55:12,077 Just based on the group theory, check them. 783 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,980 So I won't go through those details. 784 00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:28,670 But let me just mention the most important such kind of mapping 785 00:55:28,670 --> 00:55:30,300 for these two theories. 786 00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:33,930 And actually does have consequences 787 00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:39,140 for the general story. 788 00:55:42,070 --> 00:55:50,730 So the most important mapping. 789 00:55:50,730 --> 00:55:52,460 So as we said, on the string theory side, 790 00:55:52,460 --> 00:55:53,668 you always have this dilaton. 791 00:55:56,010 --> 00:55:58,920 So these is some scalar field. 792 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,740 And this dilaton will appear in the scalar field, in AdS5, 793 00:56:02,740 --> 00:56:05,260 say, for example. 794 00:56:05,260 --> 00:56:06,870 And it turns out this dilaton field 795 00:56:06,870 --> 00:56:09,470 is mapped to the Lagrangian of the N equal to 4 796 00:56:09,470 --> 00:56:10,470 super Yang-Mills theory. 797 00:56:19,510 --> 00:56:22,120 So the Lagrangian is a Lagrangian 798 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,140 of the N equals to 4 super Yang-Mills theory, 799 00:56:24,140 --> 00:56:27,670 say, trace f squared plus phi squared, et cetera. 800 00:56:27,670 --> 00:56:29,566 So that's a local operator. 801 00:56:29,566 --> 00:56:31,940 And it turns out that operator is mapped to this dilaton. 802 00:56:35,812 --> 00:56:38,020 And on the N equal to 4 super Yang-Mills theory side, 803 00:56:38,020 --> 00:56:40,870 we have this SO6 gauge symmetry. 804 00:56:40,870 --> 00:56:43,740 Did I just erase them? 805 00:56:43,740 --> 00:56:46,130 We have this SO6 gauge symmetry. 806 00:56:46,130 --> 00:56:53,989 Then we have the SO6 conserved current. 807 00:56:53,989 --> 00:56:55,780 And it turns out this, on the gravity side, 808 00:56:55,780 --> 00:57:00,310 just maps to sO6 gauge field. 809 00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,841 AUDIENCE: You said it was an SO6 gauge symmetry? 810 00:57:02,841 --> 00:57:03,382 HONG LIU: No. 811 00:57:03,382 --> 00:57:06,790 In the N equal to 4, this is a global symmetry. 812 00:57:06,790 --> 00:57:12,060 But on this side, so this appears as isometry on the S5. 813 00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:16,790 But when you dimensionally reduce on S5, then in AdS5, 814 00:57:16,790 --> 00:57:18,610 then there will be a pure gauge field 815 00:57:18,610 --> 00:57:23,890 corresponding to each symmetry generated [INAUDIBLE] S5. 816 00:57:23,890 --> 00:57:28,390 And that naturally maps to this conserved current 817 00:57:28,390 --> 00:57:31,700 on the field theory side. 818 00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:35,000 And then another universal operator on the field theory 819 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,787 side is the stress tensor. 820 00:57:36,787 --> 00:57:38,370 So no matter what theory you consider, 821 00:57:38,370 --> 00:57:39,590 you have stress tensor. 822 00:57:44,010 --> 00:57:47,715 And this is mapped to-- turns out, 823 00:57:47,715 --> 00:57:48,881 to the metric perturbations. 824 00:57:57,140 --> 00:57:59,051 It's a deviation from the AdS metric. 825 00:58:04,910 --> 00:58:11,080 Again, so at the representation level, this is very natural. 826 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,330 So this is a symmetric tensor. 827 00:58:12,330 --> 00:58:13,462 This is a symmetric tensor. 828 00:58:15,970 --> 00:58:18,649 But physically, this is also natural. 829 00:58:18,649 --> 00:58:19,690 Physically, also natural. 830 00:58:19,690 --> 00:58:25,190 I will elaborate this a little bit further 831 00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:32,460 from a different perspective in a few minutes. 832 00:58:37,442 --> 00:58:39,275 So do you have any questions regarding this? 833 00:58:45,590 --> 00:58:48,810 So now, given this mapping, any operator 834 00:58:48,810 --> 00:58:51,570 is due to a bulk field. 835 00:58:51,570 --> 00:58:55,360 Then you can ask some immediate questions. 836 00:58:55,360 --> 00:59:01,510 For example, the quantum numbers of these operators 837 00:59:01,510 --> 00:59:04,290 will map to the quantum numbers of the bulk fields. 838 00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:09,160 And that's something I said you can check their symmetries. 839 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,950 For example, not only the representations 840 00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:14,450 under this conformal symmetry should 841 00:59:14,450 --> 00:59:16,690 map under that representation. 842 00:59:16,690 --> 00:59:22,860 And also, the representation under that 843 00:59:22,860 --> 00:59:24,430 SO6 we also match, et cetera. 844 00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:34,161 So for local operator on the field theory side, 845 00:59:34,161 --> 00:59:36,160 so once we have this mapping, we can immediately 846 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:42,580 ask questions related to operators on this side, 847 00:59:42,580 --> 00:59:45,250 and try to ask what's the counterpart on the other side. 848 00:59:45,250 --> 00:59:49,510 And ask the story about the field on the gravity side, 849 00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,320 and ask what's happened on this side. 850 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,610 We can start developing the relations. 851 00:59:55,610 --> 00:59:59,120 So now let's start discussing them. 852 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,270 So the first thing you can do, so immediate question 853 01:00:02,270 --> 01:00:08,710 you can ask is that given the operator, 854 01:00:08,710 --> 01:00:14,370 say operator O in the field theory. 855 01:00:21,912 --> 01:00:23,370 So there are some natural questions 856 01:00:23,370 --> 01:00:25,250 one can raise about this operator. 857 01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:28,360 For example, what is correlation functions, et cetera? 858 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,000 And that we will discuss a bit later. 859 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,940 But now let me discuss another natural question. 860 01:00:34,940 --> 01:01:00,270 And the natural thing to do is to deform your original theory 861 01:01:00,270 --> 01:01:05,040 by adding this operator to the Lagrangian. 862 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,210 So I have an operator. 863 01:01:17,210 --> 01:01:18,240 I can put the source. 864 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,870 I can put the coefficients. 865 01:01:19,870 --> 01:01:22,090 And these coefficients may depend or not 866 01:01:22,090 --> 01:01:25,010 depend on the space time coordinates. 867 01:01:25,010 --> 01:01:28,060 And I can always add such a term to a Lagrangian. 868 01:01:28,060 --> 01:01:31,140 And then this deforms my theory away from the original theory. 869 01:01:31,140 --> 01:01:32,990 So this is a natural thing to do. 870 01:01:32,990 --> 01:01:34,902 And this phi 0 is often called the source. 871 01:01:42,510 --> 01:01:44,076 So this phi 0 is called the source. 872 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,970 So immediate question you can ask-- 873 01:01:57,970 --> 01:02:05,430 and when phi 0 is equal to constant, 874 01:02:05,430 --> 01:02:18,280 then this corresponding to a change in the coupling 875 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,050 for this operator. 876 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,660 So if your Lagrangian previously already included this operator, 877 01:02:29,660 --> 01:02:32,770 and then if you add such a term, so phi 0 equal to constant, 878 01:02:32,770 --> 01:02:35,990 then you are just changing the coupling for that operator. 879 01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:38,230 And if this operator is not there, 880 01:02:38,230 --> 01:02:42,337 then you just add the new coupling. 881 01:02:42,337 --> 01:02:44,545 But in general, you can make it space time dependent. 882 01:02:49,570 --> 01:02:51,470 AUDIENCE: Why is it coupling since there's 883 01:02:51,470 --> 01:02:55,180 no other operators coupling without if we 884 01:02:55,180 --> 01:02:57,829 say phi 0 is a constant? 885 01:02:57,829 --> 01:02:58,495 HONG LIU: Sorry? 886 01:02:58,495 --> 01:03:00,000 AUDIENCE: If phi 0 is a constant? 887 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:00,200 HONG LIU: No. 888 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,090 O is the operator. 889 01:03:01,090 --> 01:03:02,358 It's the local operator. 890 01:03:02,358 --> 01:03:06,820 AUDIENCE: Yes, but there is no other operator 891 01:03:06,820 --> 01:03:09,920 this operator O coupling with. 892 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,350 HONG LIU: No, no, no. 893 01:03:12,350 --> 01:03:14,410 What is the meaning of operator? 894 01:03:14,410 --> 01:03:20,980 The meaning of operator is that O is 895 01:03:20,980 --> 01:03:24,630 a sum of the product of fields. 896 01:03:24,630 --> 01:03:28,010 And so there's already-- so this O may be phi cubed, 897 01:03:28,010 --> 01:03:29,360 or may be phi 4, et cetera. 898 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,610 So example is O in the scalar field theory. 899 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,610 If a scalar field theory has a gauge field, 900 01:03:45,610 --> 01:03:49,000 then I can write O as trace F squared. 901 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,080 Then this corresponding to changing the coupling 902 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,780 for trace F squared. 903 01:03:59,010 --> 01:04:01,674 So immediate question is, what does this operation-- so 904 01:04:01,674 --> 01:04:03,090 in the field theory point of view, 905 01:04:03,090 --> 01:04:05,489 you can always do this operation. 906 01:04:05,489 --> 01:04:07,780 So the immediate question, what does this corresponding 907 01:04:07,780 --> 01:04:08,524 to in the bulk? 908 01:04:13,610 --> 01:04:27,985 What does this operation correspond to in the bulk? 909 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,800 So now I'll try to answer this question. 910 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:45,250 As I said before, in establishing such dictionary, 911 01:04:45,250 --> 01:04:49,380 you often have to do lots of guesswork, and then you check. 912 01:04:49,380 --> 01:04:55,870 And the guesswork is based on some very small clues. 913 01:04:55,870 --> 01:05:00,120 So people who are able to make good guesses 914 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,790 is that they are able to grasp important clues sometimes 915 01:05:04,790 --> 01:05:05,885 from very simple facts. 916 01:05:08,750 --> 01:05:11,150 And so that is what's good physicists do 917 01:05:11,150 --> 01:05:14,230 is that they can see non-ordinary things 918 01:05:14,230 --> 01:05:16,530 from ordinary things. 919 01:05:16,530 --> 01:05:27,156 So here, I will try to deduce the answer to this question 920 01:05:27,156 --> 01:05:28,447 by starting from this relation. 921 01:05:35,330 --> 01:05:37,281 So let me start with that relation. 922 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,520 Related to the GS. 923 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,940 Let's forget about p for pi. 924 01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:56,890 And now, we've talked about before GS string coupling can 925 01:05:56,890 --> 01:06:01,310 be considered as the expectation value of the dilaton field. 926 01:06:01,310 --> 01:06:02,858 Let me actually call it capital Phi. 927 01:06:07,140 --> 01:06:09,694 So we mentioned before when we talked about string theory 928 01:06:09,694 --> 01:06:12,110 that this string coupling can be considered as expectation 929 01:06:12,110 --> 01:06:15,278 value of the dilaton field. 930 01:06:19,904 --> 01:06:21,570 Of course in general, again, the dilaton 931 01:06:21,570 --> 01:06:22,611 can fluctuate, et cetera. 932 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,300 So normally, in flat space, when we 933 01:06:27,300 --> 01:06:31,950 say the dilaton has expectation value, what we normally 934 01:06:31,950 --> 01:06:35,760 say is that the value of the dilaton at infinity 935 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:40,340 because the boundary by infinity, that's how you fix. 936 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:51,160 And similarly, for space time like AdS with a boundary, 937 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,300 and the expectation value of this dilaton 938 01:06:55,300 --> 01:06:58,620 can be identified with the value of the dilaton 939 01:06:58,620 --> 01:07:00,310 at the boundary of AdS. 940 01:07:03,010 --> 01:07:06,345 So here, I write partial AdS means the boundary of AdS. 941 01:07:10,100 --> 01:07:14,816 So this is the value of AdS, value of phi at the boundary. 942 01:07:22,650 --> 01:07:24,585 So expectation value essentially can 943 01:07:24,585 --> 01:07:26,710 be associated with the boundary value of the field. 944 01:07:29,900 --> 01:07:32,410 AUDIENCE: You mean if it is a constant? 945 01:07:32,410 --> 01:07:36,490 You mean if expectation value of the phi is constant? 946 01:07:36,490 --> 01:07:40,778 Or if it's, function-wise, equal to the boundary limit? 947 01:07:40,778 --> 01:07:42,210 HONG LIU: No, no, no. 948 01:07:42,210 --> 01:07:43,990 Think about the following thing. 949 01:07:43,990 --> 01:07:49,340 As I said, phi in principle can fluctuate. 950 01:07:49,340 --> 01:07:55,040 And its expectation may also be able to fluctuate in the space 951 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:55,970 time. 952 01:07:55,970 --> 01:07:59,670 But the only sensible way to talk about expectation value 953 01:07:59,670 --> 01:08:01,640 is to talk about its value at the boundary 954 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,460 because we assume the boundary conditions don't fluctuate. 955 01:08:05,460 --> 01:08:07,357 It's the same thing for flat space. 956 01:08:07,357 --> 01:08:09,190 And we always specify the boundary condition 957 01:08:09,190 --> 01:08:11,030 at the spatial infinity, for example. 958 01:08:11,030 --> 01:08:14,600 And in the AdS, which is also space time with a boundary, 959 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:19,240 than we can associate the constant parts 960 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,217 of the expectation value as the value at the boundary. 961 01:08:34,569 --> 01:08:37,230 Now you have to use a little bit stretch of imagination. 962 01:08:41,020 --> 01:08:43,310 The following fact, you don't need to. 963 01:08:43,310 --> 01:08:47,420 So now, with this relation, we have established a connection 964 01:08:47,420 --> 01:08:52,290 between the Yang-Mills theory coupling with the value of phi 965 01:08:52,290 --> 01:08:54,116 at the boundary of AdS. 966 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:07,229 And now remember, this Yang-Mills coupling, 967 01:09:07,229 --> 01:09:10,330 so I will not be careful about 1 over Yang-Mills squared. 968 01:09:10,330 --> 01:09:11,550 This is related. 969 01:09:11,550 --> 01:09:20,832 This is the coupling or source for the Lagrangian of N equals 970 01:09:20,832 --> 01:09:22,040 to 4 super Yang-Mills theory. 971 01:09:40,750 --> 01:09:47,580 So now we can deduce here two things. 972 01:09:47,580 --> 01:09:58,170 In particular, if we deform the Lagrangian, 973 01:09:58,170 --> 01:10:06,160 say, change this coupling, deform the boundary 974 01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,646 by changing the coupling, which corresponds 975 01:10:08,646 --> 01:10:12,290 to you add some delta G, say the Lagrangian of N 976 01:10:12,290 --> 01:10:16,650 equal to 4 super Yang-Mills, deform the boundary 977 01:10:16,650 --> 01:10:18,440 set by changing the coupling. 978 01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:21,650 And this corresponding to you essentially 979 01:10:21,650 --> 01:10:35,637 change the boundary value of dilaton 980 01:10:35,637 --> 01:10:36,720 because these are related. 981 01:10:40,790 --> 01:10:45,320 So now, this example gives us the answer to this question. 982 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:58,065 This example gives us this question. 983 01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:12,600 From here, we can deduce first that the operator corresponding 984 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,620 to the dilaton must be the N equal to 4 super Yang-Mills 985 01:11:15,620 --> 01:11:21,690 Lagrangian, as you can already deduce from some other methods, 986 01:11:21,690 --> 01:11:23,670 say using group theory, et cetera. 987 01:11:27,300 --> 01:11:36,980 And the second is that phi 0 O, in the boundary theory, 988 01:11:36,980 --> 01:11:43,430 adding a phi 0 O in the boundary theory 989 01:11:43,430 --> 01:11:48,250 must be related-- now I'm generalizing this story. 990 01:11:48,250 --> 01:11:52,530 The bulk field phi-- so now I'm no longer not 991 01:11:52,530 --> 01:11:54,290 necessarily using the dilaton. 992 01:11:54,290 --> 01:12:09,170 The bulk field phi due to O has a boundary value phi 0. 993 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,170 Any questions about this? 994 01:12:25,380 --> 01:12:25,880 Yes? 995 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,416 AUDIENCE: Your choice of operator O 996 01:12:27,416 --> 01:12:29,416 should be consistent with all symmetries, right? 997 01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:30,326 HONG LIU: Hm? 998 01:12:30,326 --> 01:12:31,826 AUDIENCE: You're not pre-choosing O? 999 01:12:31,826 --> 01:12:32,367 HONG LIU: No. 1000 01:12:32,367 --> 01:12:34,035 O can be anything. 1001 01:12:34,035 --> 01:12:36,284 AUDIENCE: Consistent with original symmetries of the-- 1002 01:12:36,284 --> 01:12:37,784 HONG LIU: No, it doesn't have to be. 1003 01:12:37,784 --> 01:12:40,200 You can deform the theory without-- you 1004 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:41,930 can break the symmetry. 1005 01:12:41,930 --> 01:12:44,150 That deformation can break the symmetry. 1006 01:12:44,150 --> 01:12:45,650 If you want to preserve the symmetry 1007 01:12:45,650 --> 01:12:49,390 of the original Lagrangian, then you can choose a certain O. 1008 01:12:49,390 --> 01:12:51,910 But in principle, you can choose any O. You can 1009 01:12:51,910 --> 01:12:54,510 break the symmetry if you want. 1010 01:12:54,510 --> 01:12:57,206 AUDIENCE: Do you have to always then break 1011 01:12:57,206 --> 01:12:59,485 some symmetry on the AdS part? 1012 01:12:59,485 --> 01:13:00,110 HONG LIU: Yeah. 1013 01:13:02,660 --> 01:13:05,170 Impose this kind of boundary conditions. 1014 01:13:05,170 --> 01:13:09,260 Then you may break AdS symmetry too. 1015 01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:11,470 So now we have answered this question. 1016 01:13:11,470 --> 01:13:15,360 And then of course, this just provides the answer. 1017 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,190 Then you would check it. 1018 01:13:17,190 --> 01:13:20,180 And we will check it later using other methods. 1019 01:13:20,180 --> 01:13:23,250 Now I'm saying because I already know it's true. 1020 01:13:23,250 --> 01:13:26,820 But in real life, what you will do from this example, 1021 01:13:26,820 --> 01:13:28,920 you will say, ah, this must be the case. 1022 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,635 Then you will start trying to find examples to check it. 1023 01:13:32,635 --> 01:13:35,530 Start to find other ways to check it. 1024 01:13:35,530 --> 01:13:38,160 And we will describe it later. 1025 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,690 So in the end, what we will describe 1026 01:13:40,690 --> 01:13:41,890 is a self consistent story. 1027 01:13:41,890 --> 01:13:47,120 I will not contradict myself in my later discussion. 1028 01:13:47,120 --> 01:14:02,195 So if we assume this, I can also use this to argue. 1029 01:14:13,510 --> 01:14:21,880 I can also use this identification 1030 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:23,930 to argue this too. 1031 01:14:23,930 --> 01:14:30,060 So let me call this star and star star. 1032 01:14:30,060 --> 01:14:40,990 I can use this identification to make star and star star 1033 01:14:40,990 --> 01:14:50,875 natural for any duality, not only N 1034 01:14:50,875 --> 01:14:56,555 equals 4 super Yang-Mills theory and this type IIB gravity. 1035 01:14:59,830 --> 01:15:02,210 It's that any conserved curve in the boundary theory 1036 01:15:02,210 --> 01:15:06,040 must be equal to some gauge field in the gravity side, 1037 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:10,630 and the stress tensor should always be due to the metric. 1038 01:15:10,630 --> 01:15:15,530 So now I'm going to use this argument 1039 01:15:15,530 --> 01:15:17,190 to make that a little bit more natural. 1040 01:15:23,060 --> 01:15:27,080 So let's first consider this. 1041 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:35,810 So suppose I have a conserved current, J, J. I have a J mu. 1042 01:15:38,430 --> 01:15:41,550 For simplicity, let me just take it to be u(1). 1043 01:15:41,550 --> 01:15:44,410 Then I can deform the boundary theory 1044 01:15:44,410 --> 01:15:50,550 by adding a source for this J mu by adding a boundary Lagrangian 1045 01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:51,860 term like this. 1046 01:15:51,860 --> 01:15:52,835 And a mu is the source. 1047 01:15:58,890 --> 01:16:03,670 And then according to this identification, 1048 01:16:03,670 --> 01:16:11,570 the A mu must be A mu-- we should be able to identify it 1049 01:16:11,570 --> 01:16:15,470 as the boundary value of some bulk field, A mu evaluated 1050 01:16:15,470 --> 01:16:16,974 at z equal to 0. 1051 01:16:20,790 --> 01:16:22,437 So this is a bulk vector field. 1052 01:16:28,310 --> 01:16:32,050 So if this is true, there must exist a vector field 1053 01:16:32,050 --> 01:16:34,480 due to this vector field. 1054 01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:38,170 And this must correspond to the boundary value of that. 1055 01:16:38,170 --> 01:16:42,630 But now we can argue why this should be a gauge field. 1056 01:16:42,630 --> 01:16:45,430 So now I want to argue this is a gauge field. 1057 01:16:45,430 --> 01:16:49,660 And to see this is very easy because since J mu is 1058 01:16:49,660 --> 01:16:53,820 conserved, then this coupling-- so let 1059 01:16:53,820 --> 01:16:57,500 me call this star star star. 1060 01:16:57,500 --> 01:17:03,590 Let me call it star star star. 1061 01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:10,700 So since this is conserved, and this star star star 1062 01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:18,210 is invariant under the following transformation, 1063 01:17:18,210 --> 01:17:24,940 A mu goes to A mu plus partial mu lambda x for any lambda x. 1064 01:17:35,050 --> 01:17:42,530 So that means the A mu, this A is the boundary value of A. 1065 01:17:42,530 --> 01:17:46,290 So that means this capital A, that 1066 01:17:46,290 --> 01:17:55,090 means the dynamics of this A mu should also be invariant. 1067 01:18:01,740 --> 01:18:04,520 If I change the boundary value of A by this transformation, 1068 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,210 the dynamics of A mu should also not change. 1069 01:18:07,210 --> 01:18:13,440 Let me call it AM so the bulk and general will be different. 1070 01:18:13,440 --> 01:18:17,210 But this is like a gauge transformation. 1071 01:18:17,210 --> 01:18:19,840 So this is like a gauge transformation. 1072 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,850 So we deduce that somehow, this must 1073 01:18:22,850 --> 01:18:24,960 be some subset of the bulk gauge transformation. 1074 01:18:32,492 --> 01:18:36,770 Now call it star to the power 4. 1075 01:18:36,770 --> 01:18:44,240 Then star to the power 4 also must 1076 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:52,885 be a subset of some bulk gauge transformation. 1077 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,100 So this does not prove it, but makes it more natural. 1078 01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:07,620 This argument makes it more natural. 1079 01:19:07,620 --> 01:19:10,910 The fact that the boundary value of A 1080 01:19:10,910 --> 01:19:12,340 has such kind of gauge symmetry. 1081 01:19:15,140 --> 01:19:18,440 So in some sense, this must generalize 1082 01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:23,270 to some gauge symmetry in the full gravity side. 1083 01:19:23,270 --> 01:19:28,049 So similarly, you can do this for the metric for the stress 1084 01:19:28,049 --> 01:19:28,549 tensor. 1085 01:19:32,165 --> 01:19:34,206 Similarly, you can do this for the stress tensor. 1086 01:19:39,020 --> 01:19:49,370 So for the stress tensor, so for the star star, again, 1087 01:19:49,370 --> 01:20:01,380 we can add h mu mu x T mu mu to the boundary Lagrangian. 1088 01:20:01,380 --> 01:20:05,920 And this is the source to the stress tensor. 1089 01:20:11,050 --> 01:20:16,152 And now, from your knowledge of quantum field theory, 1090 01:20:16,152 --> 01:20:23,890 when I add such a term to the field theory, it's the same. 1091 01:20:23,890 --> 01:20:34,140 So this is equivalent to I deform the boundary space 1092 01:20:34,140 --> 01:20:45,620 time metric from just eta mu mu to eta mu mu plus h mu mu. 1093 01:20:48,220 --> 01:20:51,667 So let me call this quantity g mu mu b. 1094 01:20:58,270 --> 01:21:02,200 So adding such a term source for the stress tensor 1095 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,140 is like you deform your space time geometry 1096 01:21:04,140 --> 01:21:06,710 a little bit by this source. 1097 01:21:06,710 --> 01:21:09,435 This is when h is very small. 1098 01:21:09,435 --> 01:21:10,810 When we consider the information, 1099 01:21:10,810 --> 01:21:12,434 we always consider the source is small. 1100 01:21:16,430 --> 01:21:22,980 But now, we can argue this thing, mass corresponding 1101 01:21:22,980 --> 01:21:28,220 to the boundary value of the metric 1102 01:21:28,220 --> 01:21:31,750 in the gravity side for the following reason. 1103 01:21:31,750 --> 01:21:34,890 So if you look at this expression, 1104 01:21:34,890 --> 01:21:36,380 so if you look at even the pure AdS 1105 01:21:36,380 --> 01:21:38,540 metric before you do any deformation, 1106 01:21:38,540 --> 01:21:44,820 so this is just due to the original theory. 1107 01:21:44,820 --> 01:21:55,550 So from the AdS metric, so the original AdS metric, 1108 01:21:55,550 --> 01:21:56,590 the g mu mu component. 1109 01:22:00,590 --> 01:22:05,320 So let me write this AdS metric in the form, 1110 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,255 say, R squared, z squared, separate 1111 01:22:08,255 --> 01:22:10,050 the z squared with the rest. 1112 01:22:14,940 --> 01:22:18,492 So this is essentially the component of the bulk metric 1113 01:22:18,492 --> 01:22:19,700 along the boundary direction. 1114 01:22:26,430 --> 01:22:34,540 The boundary value of this metric component evaluates 1115 01:22:34,540 --> 01:22:37,490 z equal to 0 is equal to R squared 1116 01:22:37,490 --> 01:22:42,370 divided by z squared eta mu mu. 1117 01:22:42,370 --> 01:22:47,100 So that just comes from the AdS metric, just this g mu mu. 1118 01:22:47,100 --> 01:22:49,960 And when you go the boundary, just given by this. 1119 01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:50,910 And this is eta mu mu. 1120 01:22:50,910 --> 01:22:53,190 We recognize it just as the boundary metric. 1121 01:23:01,300 --> 01:23:02,684 So these correspond to deform. 1122 01:23:06,634 --> 01:23:08,050 Since adding this term corresponds 1123 01:23:08,050 --> 01:23:11,400 to deform the boundary metric, so we expect, 1124 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,450 when we add this term, so this corresponding 1125 01:23:13,450 --> 01:23:21,413 to deform the g mu mu now to the 0 become. 1126 01:23:24,140 --> 01:23:28,582 So we expect this becomes equal to g mu mu b. 1127 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,400 So this tells you that the stress tensor 1128 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:44,710 must be due to the metric perturbations in the gravity 1129 01:23:44,710 --> 01:23:45,210 side. 1130 01:23:48,070 --> 01:23:50,844 The stress tensor must be corresponding 1131 01:23:50,844 --> 01:23:52,760 to the metric perturbation on the gravity side 1132 01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:54,843 because it's corresponding to perturb the boundary 1133 01:23:54,843 --> 01:23:59,430 conditions of the bulk metric-- corresponding 1134 01:23:59,430 --> 01:24:02,350 to preserve the boundary condition for the bulk metric. 1135 01:24:02,350 --> 01:24:07,650 So this is a very general statement 1136 01:24:07,650 --> 01:24:11,740 valid for any correspondence between the gravity 1137 01:24:11,740 --> 01:24:14,029 and the field theory. 1138 01:24:14,029 --> 01:24:16,320 And that also tells you that if you have a theory which 1139 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,390 due into a higher dimensional theory, and then that theory, 1140 01:24:20,390 --> 01:24:23,230 if the field theory has a stress tensor, 1141 01:24:23,230 --> 01:24:28,630 then this bulk theory must have gravity 1142 01:24:28,630 --> 01:24:32,480 because this bulk theory must have a dynamical metric. 1143 01:24:36,510 --> 01:24:39,200 And if you have a dynamical metric, then you have gravity. 1144 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,630 So you can say, if any field theory 1145 01:24:42,630 --> 01:24:47,030 is due to a theory of one higher dimension, that theory of one 1146 01:24:47,030 --> 01:24:52,220 higher dimension must involve gravity-- nothing about quantum 1147 01:24:52,220 --> 01:24:55,150 gravity. 1148 01:24:55,150 --> 01:24:57,116 Let's stop here.
