Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory is discussed, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string theory on anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Holographic principle
TL;DR: The holographic principle as mentioned in this paper asserts that the fundamental degrees of freedom involved in a unified description of spacetime and matter must be manifest in an underlying quantum theory of gravity, and it has yet to be explained.

The dS/CFT correspondence
TL;DR: In this article, a holographic duality is proposed relating quantum gravity on dSD (D-dimensional de Sitter space) to conformal field theory on a single SD−1 ((D-1)-sphere), in which bulk de Sitters correlators with points on the boundary are related to CFT correlators on the sphere, and points on + (the future boundary of dSD) are mapped to the antipodal points on SD− 1 relative to those on − for the case of dS3, which is analyzed in some detail, the central charge of

Three-Dimensional Gravity Revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of identifying the CFT's that may be dual to pure gravity in three dimensions with negative cosmological constant and show that the dual CFT is very likely the monster theory of Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman.

Non-commutative geometry and string field theory
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to interpret the interactions of bosonic open strings as defining a non-cummulative, associative algebra, and to formulate the classical non-linear field theory of such strings in the language of non-commulative geometry.

Three-dimensional massive gauge theories
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed three-dimensional Yang-Mills and gravity theories augmented by gauge-invariant mass terms and quantized a dimensionless mass-couplingconstant ratio.

Supersymmetries and their Representations
TL;DR: In this article, all manifest supersymmetries in more than 1 + 1 dimensions, including those with conformal or de Sitter space-time symmetry, were determined and the structure of all representations and formulae for an effective computation were given.

N >= 2 SUPERSYMMETRIC CHERN-SIMONS TERMS AS d = 3 EXTENDED CONFORMAL SUPERGRAVITY
TL;DR: In this article, supersymmetric Chern-Simons terms for N>or=2 extended supergravity in d=3 dimensions were presented and they were shown to be the gauge actions of N> or=2 conformal supergravity.
