Conformal Symmetry in Matrix Model beyond the Eikonal Approximation

Recently, it was shown by Jevicki, Kazama and Yoneya (JKY) that the Super-Yang-Mills theories (SYM) in $D\leq 4$ can reproduce the conformal symmetry of the near-horizon geometry of the D-brane solutions. However, the eikonal approximation they used is not sufficient for analyzing the conformal symmetry in SYM. We carry out the 1-loop calculation beyond the eikonal approximation for D=1 SYM (i.e., Matrix model) to confirm the claim of JKY.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, no figures, minor correction

Collective Hamiltonians with Kac-Moody Algebraic Conditions

We describe the general framework for constructing collective--theory Hamiltonians whose hermicity requirements imply a Kac--Moody algebra of constraints on the associated Jacobian. We give explicit examples for the algebras $sl(2)_k$ and $sl(3)_k$. The reduction to $W_n$--constraints, relevant to $n$-matrix models, is described for the Jacobians.Comment: Additional results and references; Phyzzte

Thermofield Duality for Higher Spin Rindler Gravity

We study the Thermo-field realization of the duality between the Rindler-AdS higher spin theory and $O(N)$ vector theory. The CFT represents a decoupled pair of free $O(N)$ vector field theories. It is shown how this decoupled domain CFT is capable of generating the connected Rindler-AdS background with the full set of Higher Spin fields.Comment: 23 pages, 1 figure; v2 reference added; v3 presentation modified and typos correcte

Notes on Collective Field Theory of Matrix and Spin Calogero Models

Matrix models and related Spin-Calogero-Sutherland models are of major relevance in a variety of subjects, ranging from condensed matter physics to QCD and low dimensional string theory. They are characterized by integrability and exact solvability. Their continuum, field theoretic representations are likewise of definite interest. In this paper we describe various continuum, field theoretic representations of these models based on bosonization and collective field theory techniques. We compare various known representations and describe some nontrivial applications.Comment: 36 pages, no figures v2: references added, a version to appear in the special issue of JPhysA (edited by G Dunne, J Feinberg and P Dorey) v3:comments changed, paper identical to v

Bulk from Bi-locals in Thermo Field CFT

We study the Large $N$ dynamics of the $O(N)$ field theory in the Thermo field dynamics approach. The question of recovering the high temperature phase and the corresponding $O(N)$ gauging is clarified. Through the associated bi-local representation we discuss the emergent bulk space-time and construction of (Higher spin) fields. We note the presence of `evanescent' modes in this construction and also the mixing of spins at finite temperature.Comment: 24 page. v2: references added, minor corrections. v3: typo corrected, clarification added, conclusion revised, version to appear in JHE

String field actions from W-infinity

Starting from $W_{\infty}$ as a fundamental symmetry and using the coadjoint orbit method, we derive an action for one dimensional strings. It is shown that on the simplest nontrivial orbit this gives the single scalar collective field theory. On higher orbits one finds generalized KdV type field theories with increasing number of components. Here the tachyon is coupled to higher tensor fields.Comment: 18 page
