From AdS/CFT to Soft Theorems

Description

This lecture by the instructor covers the transition from AdS/CFT to soft theorems in flat space physics. It explores the construction of scattering states in flat space using CFT and the derivation of flat space physics from CFT. The discussion includes the application of Weinberg soft theorems from CFT Ward identities, the definition of observables in AdS versus flat space, and the reconstruction of fields in the CFT using HKLL. The lecture also delves into the extrapolation of the dictionary in AdS/CFT, the construction of flat space creation/annihilation operators, and the asymptotic symmetries of the S-matrix. Additionally, it touches upon the magnetic asymptotic symmetries from Ward identities and the connection between CFT operators and scattering states.

Dictionary

A dictionary is a listing of lexemes from the lexicon of one or more specific languages, often arranged alphabetically (or by consonantal root for Semitic languages or radical and stroke for logographic languages), which may include information on definitions, usage, etymologies, pronunciations, translation, etc. It is a lexicographical reference that shows inter-relationships among the data. A broad distinction is made between general and specialized dictionaries.

Webster's Dictionary

Webster's Dictionary is any of the English language dictionaries edited in the early 19th century by Noah Webster (1758–1843), an American lexicographer, as well as numerous related or unrelated dictionaries that have adopted the Webster's name in his honor. "Webster's" has since become a genericized trademark in the United States for English dictionaries, and is widely used in dictionary titles. Merriam-Webster is the corporate heir to Noah Webster's original works, which are in the public domain.

Bilingual dictionary

A bilingual dictionary or translation dictionary is a specialized dictionary used to translate words or phrases from one language to another. Bilingual dictionaries can be unidirectional, meaning that they list the meanings of words of one language in another, or can be bidirectional, allowing translation to and from both languages. Bidirectional bilingual dictionaries usually consist of two sections, each listing words and phrases of one language alphabetically along with their translation.

Specialized dictionary

A specialized dictionary is a dictionary that covers a relatively restricted set of phenomena. The definitive book on the subject (Cowie 2009) includes chapters on some of the dictionaries included below: synonyms pronunciations names (place names and personal names) phrases and idioms dialect terms slang quotations etymologies rhymes lyrics Dictionaries of idioms and slang are common in most cultures.

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.
