Holography and localization of information in quantum gravity

Résumé

Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we identify a class of CFT operators which represent diff-invariant and approximately local observables in the gravitational dual. Provided that the bulk state breaks all asymptotic symmetries, we show that these operators commute to all orders in 1/N with asymptotic charges, thus resolving an apparent tension between locality in perturbative quantum gravity and the gravitational Gauss law. The interpretation of these observables is that they are not gravitationally dressed with respect to the boundary, but instead to features of the state. We also provide evidence that there are bulk observables whose commutator vanishes to all orders in 1/N with the entire algebra of single-trace operators defined in a space-like separated time-band. This implies that in a large N holographic CFT, the algebra generated by single-trace operators in a short-enough time-band has a non-trivial commutant when acting on states which break the symmetries. It also implies that information deep in the interior of the bulk is invisible to single-trace correlators in the time-band and hence that it is possible to localize information in perturbative quantum gravity.

Gravitation quantique à boucles
La gravitation quantique à boucles (loop quantum gravity en anglais) est une tentative de formuler une théorie de la gravitation quantique, et donc d'unifier la théorie de la relativité générale et les concepts de la physique quantique. Elle est fondée sur la quantification canonique directe de la relativité générale dans une formulation hamiltonienne (l'équation de Wheeler-DeWitt), les trois autres interactions fondamentales n'étant pas considérées dans un premier temps.
Asymptotic safety in quantum gravity
Asymptotic safety (sometimes also referred to as nonperturbative renormalizability) is a concept in quantum field theory which aims at finding a consistent and predictive quantum theory of the gravitational field. Its key ingredient is a nontrivial fixed point of the theory's renormalization group flow which controls the behavior of the coupling constants in the ultraviolet (UV) regime and renders physical quantities safe from divergences.
Gravité quantique
La gravité quantique est une branche de la physique théorique tentant d'unifier la mécanique quantique et la relativité générale. Une telle théorie permettrait notamment de comprendre les phénomènes impliquant de grandes quantités de matière ou d'énergie sur de petites dimensions spatiales, tels que les trous noirs ou l'origine de l'Univers. L'approche générale utilisée pour obtenir une théorie de la gravité quantique est, présumant que la théorie sous-jacente doit être simple et élégante, d'examiner les symétries et indices permettant de combiner mécanique quantique et la relativité générale en une théorie globale unifiée.

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Anomaly-free scale symmetry and gravity

In this Letter, we address the question of whether the conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry of a theory of fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, this theory must contain a mechanism of spontaneous breaking of the scale symmet ...
