Field theory limit of branes and gauged supergravities

arXiv:hep-th/9903003 · doi:10.1002/(SICI)1521-3978(20001)48:1/3<205::AID-PROP205>3.0.CO;2-F

Abstract

We discuss the field theory limit of Dp-branes. In this limit, the black Dp-brane solution approaches a solution which is conformal to adS_{p+2} \times S^{8-p}. We argue that the frame in which the conformal factor is equal to one, the dual frame, is a `holographic' frame. The radial coordinate of adS_{p+2} provides a UV/IR connection as in the case of the D3 brane. The gravitational description involves gauged supergravities, typically with non-compact gauge groups. The near-horizon Dp-brane solution becomes a domain-wall solution of the latter.
