Is spacetime an illusion?

In consistent histories, for gauge theories, can the projection operators used in the chains be not gauge invariant? In quantum gravity, for a projection operator to be gauge invariant means it has ...

Starting examples of Maldacena duality

I would like to know of what are the simplest/starting/basic examples that a student can work through to learn (and to convince oneself!) that AdS/CFT really works? I would like to know of the basic ...

Flat Space Limit of AdS/CFT is S-Matrix Theory

In an answer to this question, Ron Maimon said: The flat-space limit of AdS/CFT boundary theory is the S-matrix theory of a flat space theory, so the result was the same--- the "boundary" ...

How is the 'cluster decomposition principle' implemented in holographic theories?

Since holographic theories are non-local by definition, how is this principle implemented? Naively, it seems to me it is not, at least, in some sense. I would appreciate an explanation as simple ...

Boundaries where AdS/CFT complementarity applies

Usually when I read about AdS/CFT complementarity as a particular case of the Holographic principle, it suggests that physics evolution on a boundary has a map to physics evolution on the bulk. But ...

BEC for holography?

I am spending some time reading about Bose-Einstein condensation. I want to know if it is possible to use atom lasers to realize the kind of holography traditionally associated with nano-fabrication. ...
