Permeable conformal walls and holography
C. Bachas, J. de Boer, R. Dijkgraaf +1
We study conformal field theories in two dimensions separated by domain walls, which preserve at least one Virasoro algebra. We develop tools to study such domain walls, extending…
Mass, Entropy and Holography in Asymptotically de Sitter Spaces
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Djordje Minic
We propose a novel prescription for computing the boundary stress tensor and charges of asymptotically de Sitter (dS) spacetimes from data at early or late time infinity. If there…
General covariance of the non-abelian DBI-action
Jan de Boer, Koenraad Schalm
In this paper we study the action for N D0-branes in a curved background. In particular, we focus on the meaning of space-time diffeomorphism invariance. For a single D-brane, diff…
The Operator Algebra and Twisted KZ Equations of WZW Orbifolds
J. de Boer, M. B. Halpern, N. A. Obers
We obtain the operator algebra of each twisted sector of all WZW orbifolds, including the general twisted current algebra and the algebra of the twisted currents with the twisted a…
The Holographic Renormalization Group
Jan de Boer
In this lecture, we review the derivation of the holographic renormalization group given in hep-th/9912012. Some extra background material is included, and various applications are…
