Bulk versus boundary dynamics in anti–de Sitter spacetime

Bulk versus boundary dynamics in anti–de Sitter spacetime

We investigate the details of the bulk-boundary correspondence in Lorentzian signature anti-de Sitter space. Operators in the boundary theory couple to sources identified with the boundary values of non-normalizable bulk modes. Such modes do not fluctuate and provide classical backgrounds on which bulk excitations propagate. Normalizable modes in the bulk …
