February 15 ADS-CFT(1)ADS-CFT对应揭示了d维的共形场论和d+1维的反de Sitter时空的一种等价关系。首先从两个理论的对称性看,这是可能的。两边的理论都有SO(2,d)的对称group。当d=4,CFT是N=4的SU(N)SYM的时候,引力这边将是低能标近似下的string theory。 要揭示这种等价关系,首先要看到D-brane和p-brane的等价。D-brane是string端点接在上面的dynamic wall。连着D-branes i and j 的open string state将含有一个λ_{i,j}^a |i>×|j>的因子。又:一个open string的0质量态可以表示为一个矢量。因此,这里的open string state可记为:|μ>×|i>×|j>。如果是N张D-brane,这就是SU(N)的规范场A_μ^a。 引用 http://astrings.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!39F408496A6A1974!150.entry January 01 值得记录的科普文章Hawking radiation

| 黑洞探秘:光波与声波类比 |
|
光波在空间中的行为,和声波在流体里的行为,有着神秘的相似性,连黑洞也可以在声学中找到对应。时空,会不会和爱因斯坦物理诞生之前的以太一样,根本就是一种流体呢? |
需要视界产生霍金辐射吗?
摘要/内容:
If one wants an overview of recent developments in the interaction of math and physics, one could do a lot worse than read the proposal from various mathematicians and physicists in the Netherlands entitled The Fellowship of Geometry and Quantum Theory (via Klaas Landsman’s web-site).
John Baez’s student Derek Wise has a well-written paper about Cartan connections, and John provides some commentary in his latest This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics. I’ve always been fascinated by Cartan connections, since they provide a framework linking very general ideas about geometry with Lie groups. As John notes, they provide a joint generalization of the Riemannian and Kleinian points of view about geometry. They also seem to provide a natural mathematical framework for thinking about the relation between GR and gauge theory. Besides the references given by Wise, one should also note that Kobayshi-Nomizu, the standard reference text among mathematicians on geometry from the point of view of connections, is very much inspired by the idea of a Cartan connection. It seems likely to me that if we ever figure out how to properly understand geometrically how to unify gravity and the standard model, these ideas will be part of the story (although much else will also be required, including an understanding of the role of spinors, and of the geometry behind quantization).
这是当今数学物理的主流,或者说是做principle的人的主要方向。看来人们还是笃信几何的。也许这里的几何在不知什么时候起就已演变了它原来狭隘的意义。一种感觉是理论里面数学的血液很浓,设想看看,在这种情况,要人们去相信一种类似上世纪初的量子理论那样的革命性的理论是多么的难。量子理论用了很华丽的数学吗?好像没有——如果不求过于完美的话,仅方程就够了。可是他在真理的宝座上稳如泰山。量子理论带来了数学的变革么?回答是毫无疑问的。
你的信仰是什么?
真理。
她可以被预见么?
你晓得,-------------。
