Holographic View of Causality and Locality via Branes in AdS/CFT Correspondence

Abstract

We study dynamical aspects of holographic correspondence between d=5 anti-de Sitter supergravity and $d=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. We probe causality and locality of ambient spacetime from super Yang-Mills theory by studying transmission of low-energy brane waves via an open string stretched between two D3-branes in Coulomb branch. By analyzing two relevant physical threshold scales, we find that causality and locality is encoded in the super Yang-Mills theory provided infinite tower of long supermultiplet operators are added. Massive W-boson and dual magnetic monopole behave more properly as extended, bilocal objects. We also study causal time-delay of low-energy excitation on heavy quark or meson and find an excellent agreement between anti-de Sitter supergravity and super Yang-Mills theory descriptions. We observe that strong `t Hooft coupling dynamics and holographic scale-size relation thereof play a crucial role to the agreement of dynamical processes.
