Time Dependent Solution

We analyze the β-function equations for string theory in the case when the target space has one space-like (or time-like) direction and the rest is some conformal field theory (CFT) with appropriate central charge and has one nearly marginal operator. We show there always exists a space-(time) dependent solution which interpolates between the original background and the background where CFT is replaced by a new conformal field theory, obtained by perturbing CPT by the nearly marginal operator.

We formulate WZW models based on a centrally extended version of the Euclidean group in d dimensions. We obtain string backgrounds corresponding to conformal σ models in D=d2 space-time dimensions with exact central charge c=d2 and d(d−1)/2 null Killing vectors. By identifying the corresponding conformal field theory we show that the one-loop results coincide with the exact ones up to a shifting of a parameter.

Exactly Solvable

An arithmetic framework for string compactification is described. The approach is exemplified by formulating a strategy that allows to construct geometric compactifications from exactly solvable theories at c = 3. It is shown that the conformal field theoretic characters can be derived from the geometry of space–time, and that the geometry is uniquely determined by the two-dimensional field theory on the worldsheet. The modular forms that appear in these constructions admit complex multiplication, and allow an interpretation as generalized McKay–Thompson series associated to the Mathieu and Conway groups. This leads to a string motivated notion of arithmetic moonshine.

We report on a high precision Monte Carlo test of the three-dimensional Ising gauge model at finite temperature. The string tension σ is extracted from the expectation values of correlations of Polyakov lines. Agreement with the string tension extracted from Wilson loops is found only if the quantum fluctuations of the flux tube are properly taken into account. The central charge of the underlying conformal field theory is c = 1.

Holographic Entanglement Entropy

A metric is proposed to explore the noncommutative form of the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space due to quantum effects. It has been proved that the noncommutativity in AdS space induces a single component gravitoelectric field. The holographic Ryu–Takayanagi (RT) algorithm is then applied to compute the entanglement entropy (EE) in dual CFT2. This calculation can be exploited to compute ultraviolet–infrared (UV–IR) cutoff dependent central charge of the certain noncommutative CFT2. This noncommutative computation of the EE can be interpreted in the form of the surface/state correspondence. We have shown that noncommutativity increases the dimension of the effective Hilbert space of the dual conformal field theory (CFT).

Abstract We test the proposal of [1] for the holographic computation of the charged moments and the resulting symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in different excited states, as well as for two entangling intervals. Our holographic computations are performed in U(1) Chern-Simons-Einstein-Hilbert gravity, and are confirmed by independent results in a conformal field theory at large central charge. In particular, we consider two classes of excited states, corresponding to charged and uncharged conical defects in AdS3. In the conformal field theory, these states are generated by the insertion of charged and uncharged heavy operators. We employ the monodromy method to calculate the ensuing four-point function between the heavy operators and the twist fields. For the two-interval case, we derive our results on the AdS and the conformal field theory side, respectively, from the generating function method of [1], as well as the vertex operator algebra. In all cases considered, we find equipartition of entanglement between the different charge sectors. We also clarify an aspect of conformal field theories with a large central charge and $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody symmetry used in our calculations, namely the factorization of the Hilbert space into a gravitational Virasoro sector with large central charge, and a $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody sector.

String Propagation

An exact conformal field theory describing a four-dimensional two-brane solution is found by considering a chiral gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theory corresponding to SL (2, R)× R, where one gauges the one-dimensional U(1) subgroup together with a translation in R. The backgrounds for string propagation are explicitly obtained and the target space is shown to have a true curvature singularity.
