Correspondence between Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes and Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theories

Journal Article Bagchi, Arjun - Physical Review Letters

We find a surprising connection between asymptotically flat spacetimes and nonrelativistic conformal systems in one lower dimension. The Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group is the group of asymptotic isometries of flat Minkowski space at null infinity. This is known to be infinite dimensional in three and four dimensions. We show that the BMS algebra in 3 dimensions is the same as the 2D Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) which is of relevance to nonrelativistic conformal symmetries. We further justify our proposal by looking at a Penrose limit on a radially infalling null ray inspired by nonrelativistic scaling and obtain a flat metric. Themore »« less

Scale-adaptive tensor algebra for local many-body methods of electronic structure theory

Journal Article Liakh, Dmitry I - International Journal of Quantum Chemistry

While the formalism of multiresolution analysis (MRA), based on wavelets and adaptive integral representations of operators, is actively progressing in electronic structure theory (mostly on the independent-particle level and, recently, second-order perturbation theory), the concepts of multiresolution and adaptivity can also be utilized within the traditional formulation of correlated (many-particle) theory which is based on second quantization and the corresponding (generally nonorthogonal) tensor algebra. In this paper, we present a formalism called scale-adaptive tensor algebra (SATA) which exploits an adaptive representation of tensors of many-body operators via the local adjustment of the basis set quality. Given a series of locallymore »« less

A one-dimensional theory for Higgs branch operators

Journal Article Dedushenko, Mykola ; Pufu, Silviu S. ; Yacoby, Ran - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We use supersymmetric localization to calculate correlation functions of half-BPS local operators in 3d N=4 superconformal field theories whose Lagrangian descriptions consist of vectormultiplets coupled to hypermultiplets. The operators we primarily study are certain twisted linear combinations of Higgs branch operators that can be inserted anywhere along a given line. These operators are constructed from the hypermultiplet scalars. They form a one-dimensional non-commutative operator algebra with topological correlation functions. The 2- and 3-point functions of Higgs branch operators in the full 3d N=4 theory can be simply inferred from the 1d topological algebra. After conformally mapping the 3d superconformal fieldmore »« less

Asymptotic charges cannot be measured in finite time

Journal Article Bousso, Raphael ; Chandrasekaran, Venkatesa ; Halpern, Illan F. ; ... - Physical Review D

To study quantum gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes, one would like to understand the algebra of observables at null infinity. Here we show that the Bondi mass cannot be observed in finite retarded time, and so is not contained in the algebra on any finite portion of I ⁺. This follows immediately from recently discovered asymptotic entropy bounds. We verify this explicitly, and we find that attempts to measure a conserved charge at arbitrarily large radius in fixed retarded time are thwarted by quantum fluctuations. We comment on the implications of our results to flat space holography and the BMSmore » charges at I ⁺.« less
