Cosmological constant and Brane New World

The estimation of the cosmological constant in inflationary Brane New World models is done. It is shown that basically it is quite large, of the same order as in anomaly-driven inflation. However, for some fine-tuning of bulk gravitational constant and AdS scale parameter $l^2$ it may be reduced to sufficiently small value. Bulk higher derivative AdS gravity with quantum brane matter may also serve as the model where small positive cosmological constant occurs.

AdS/CFT correspondence and quantum induced dilatonic multi-brane-worlds

d5 dilatonic gravity action with surface counterterms motivated by AdS/CFT correspondence and with contributions of brane quantum CFTs is considered around AdS-like bulk. The effective equations of motion are constructed. They admit two (outer and inner) or multi-brane solutions where brane CFTs may be different. The role of quantum brane CFT is in inducing of complicated brane dilatonic gravity. For exponential bulk potentials the number of AdS-like bulk spaces is found in analytical form. The correspondent flat or curved (de Sitter or hyperbolic) dilatonic two branes are created, as a rule, thanks to quantum effects. The observable early Universe may correspond to inflationary brane. The found dilatonic quantum two brane-worlds usually contain the naked singularity but in couple explicit examples the curvature is finite and horizon (corresponding to wormhole-like space) appears.

Quantum bounds for gravitational de Sitter entropy and the Cardy-Verlinde formula

We analyze different types of quantum corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and in an (anti)-de Sitter space. In all cases we show that quantum corrections can be represented by an effective cosmological constant which is then used to redefine the parameters entering the Cardy-Verlinde formula so that it becomes valid also with quantum corrections, a fact that we interpret as a further indication of its universality. A proposed relation between Cardy-Verlinde formula and the ADM Hamiltonian constraint is given.

On the way to Brane New World

In this report we consider brane-world universe (New Brane World) where an arbitrary large $N$ quantum CFT exists on the domain wall. This corresponds to implementing of Randall-Sundrum compactification within the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. Using anomaly induced effective action for domain wall CFT, the possibility of self-consistent quantum creation of 4d de Sitter wall universe (inflation) is demonstrated. In case of maximally SUSY Yang-Mills theory the exact correspondence with radius and effective tension found by Hawking-Hertog-Reall is obtained. We also discuss the bosonic sector of 5d gauged supergravity with single scalar and taking the boundary action as predicted by supersymmetry and discuss the possibility to supersymmetrize dilatonic New Brane World. It is demonstrated that for a number of superpotentials the flat SUSY dilatonic brane-world (with dynamically induced brane dilaton) or quantum-induced de Sitter dilatonic brane-world (not Anti-de Sitter one) where SUSY is broken by the quantum effects occurs. The analysis of graviton perturbations indicates that gravity is localized on such branes. New Brane World is useful in the study of FRW dynamics and cosmological entropy bounds. Brane stress tensor is induced by quantum effects of dual CFT and brane crosses the horizon of AdS black hole. The similarity between CFT entropy at the horizon and FRW equations is extended on the quantum level. This suggests the way to understand cosmological entropy bounds in quantum gravity.

Holographic entropy and brane FRW-dynamics from AdS black hole in d5 higher derivative gravity

Higher derivative bulk gravity (without Riemann tensor square term) admits AdS-Schwarzschild black hole as exact solution. It is shown that induced brane geometry on such background is open, flat or closed FRW radiation dominated Universe. Higher derivative terms contributions appear in the Hawking temperature, entropy and Hubble parameter via the redefinition of 5-dimensional gravitational constant and AdS scale parameter. These higher derivative terms do not destroy the AdS-dual description of radiation represented by strongly-coupled CFT. Cardy-Verlinde formula which expresses cosmological entropy as square root from other parameters and entropies is derived in $R^2$ gravity. The corresponding cosmological entropy bounds are briefly discussed.

A Dynamical Brane in the Gravitational Dual of ${\cal N}=2$ $Sp(N)$ Superconformal Field Theory

The particular model of d5 higher derivative gravity which is dual to ${\cal N}=2$ $Sp(N)$ SCFT is considered. A (perturbative) AdS black hole in such theory is constructed in the next-to-leading order of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The surface counterterms are fixed by the conditions required for a well-defined variational procedure and the finiteness of AdS space (when the brane goes to infinity). A dynamical brane is realized at the boundary of an AdS black hole with a radius that is larger than the horizon radius. The AdS/CFT correspondence dictates the parameters of the gravitational dual in such a way that the dynamical brane (the observable universe) always occurs outside the horizon.

String versus Einstein frame in an AdS/CFT induced quantum dilatonic brane-world universe

AdS/CFT induced quantum dilatonic brane-world where 4d boundary is flat or de Sitter (inflationary) or Anti-de Sitter brane is considered. The classical brane tension is fixed but boundary QFT produces the effective brane tension via the account of corresponding conformal anomaly induced effective action. This results in inducing of brane-worlds in accordance with AdS/CFT set-up as warped compactification. The explicit, independent construction of quantum induced dilatonic brane-worlds in two frames: string and Einstein one is done. It is demonstrated their complete equivalency for all quantum cosmological brane-worlds under discussion, including several examples of classical brane-world black holes. This is different from quantum corrected 4d dilatonic gravity where de Sitter solution exists in Einstein but not in Jordan (string) frame. The role of quantum corrections on massive graviton perturbations around Anti-de Sitter brane is briefly discussed.

Supersymmetric new brane-world

The quantum-induced dilatonic brane world (New Brane World) is created by brane CFT quantum effects (giving effective brane tension) in accordance with AdS/CFT set-up which also defines surface term. Considering the bosonic sector of 5d gauged supergravity with single scalar and taking the boundary action as predicted by supersymmetry, the possibility to supersymmetrize dilatonic New Brane World is discussed. It is demonstrated that for a number of superpotentials the flat SUSY dilatonic brane-world (with dynamically induced brane dilaton) or quantum-induced de Sitter dilatonic brane-world (not Anti-de Sitter one) where SUSY is broken by the quantum effects occurs. The analysis of graviton perturbations indicates that gravity is localized on such branes.

Quantum stabilization of thermal brane-worlds in M-theory

Low-energy effective M-theory (11d supergravity or 11d SUSY theory) is considered in 11d flat or AdS background. After orbifold compactification of eleventh dimension one gets flat 10d brane at non-zero temperature. Quantum effective potential (free energy at low-temperature approximation) is calculated on such brane with account of only lowest mass from Kaluza-Klein modes. Such effective potential may stabilize the radius of 11th dimension (radion stabilization) as it is demonstrated explicitly.

Conformal Anomaly from d5 Gauged Supergravity and c-function Away from Conformity

Using AdS/CFT correspondence we found the conformal anomaly from d3 and d5 gauged supergravity with single scalar (dilaton) and the arbitrary scalar potential on AdS-like scalar-gravitational background. Such dilatonic gravity action describes the special RG flows in extended gauged SG when scalars lie in one-dimensional submanifold of complete scalars space. This dilaton-dependent conformal anomaly corresponds to dual non-conformal (gauge) QFT (which is classically conformally invariant) with account of radiative corrections. Equations of motion in d5 gauged supergravity put some restrictions to the dilatonic potential on the conformal boundary. Using these restrictions we propose the candidate c-functions away from exact conformity. These c-functions are positively defined and monotonic, expressed in terms of dilatonic potential and have the fixed points in asymptotically AdS region.

(Non)-singular brane-world cosmology induced by quantum effects in d5 dilatonic gravity

5d dilatonic gravity (bosonic sector of gauged supergravity) with non-trivial bulk potential and with surface terms (boundary cosmological constant and trace anomaly induced effective action for brane quantum matter) is considered. For constant bulk potential and maximally SUSY Yang-Mills theory (CFT living on the brane) the inflationary brane-world is constructed. The bulk is singular asymptotically AdS space with non-constant dilaton and dilatonic de Sitter or hyperbolic brane is induced by quantum matter effects. At the same time, dilaton on the brane is determined dynamically. This all is natural realization of warped compactification in AdS/CFT correspondence. For fine-tuned toy example of non-constant bulk potential we found the non-singular dilatonic brane-world where bulk again represents asymptotically AdS space and de Sitter brane (inflationary phase of observable Universe) is induced exclusively by quantum effects. The radius of the brane and dilaton are determined dynamically. The analytically solvable example of exponential bulk potential leading to singular asymptotically AdS dilatonic bulk space with de Sitter (or hyperbolic) brane is also presented.In all cases under discussion the gravity on the brane is trapped via Randall-Sundrum scenario. It is shown that qualitatively the same types of brane-worlds occur when quantum brane matter is described by $N$ dilaton coupled spinors.

AdS/CFT correspondence, conformal anomaly and quantum corrected entropy bounds

The role of conformal anomaly in AdS/CFT and related issues is clarified. The comparison of holographic and QFT conformal anomalies (with account of brane quantum gravity contribution) indicates on the possibility for brane quantum gravity to occur within AdS/CFT set-up. 3d quantum induced inflationary (or hyperbolic) brane-world is shown to be realized in frames of AdS3/CFT2 correspondence where the role of 2d brane cosmological constant is played by effective tension due to two-dimensional conformal anomaly. The dynamical equations to describe 4d FRW-Universe with account of quantum effects produced by conformal anomaly are obtained. The quantum corrected energy, pressure and entropy are found. Dynamical evolution of entropy bounds in inflationary Universe is estimated and its comparison with quantum corrected entropy is done. It is demonstrated that entropy bounds for quantum corrected entropy are getting the approximate ones and occur for some limited periods of evolution of inflationary Universe.

Quantum (In)Stability of a Brane-World AdS$\bf_5$ Universe at Nonzero Temperature

We consider the quantum effects of bulk matter (scalars, spinors) in the Randall-Sundrum AdS$_5$ brane-world at nonzero temperature. The thermodynamic energy (modulus potential) is evaluated at low and high temperatures. This potential has an extremum which could be a minimum in some cases (for example, for a single fermion). That suggests a new dynamical mechanism to stabilize the thermal AdS$_5$ brane-world. It is shown that the brane separation required to solve the hierarchy scale problem may occur at a quite low temperature. A natural generalization in terms of the AdS/CFT correspondence (through the supergravity thermal contribution) is also possible.

Bulk versus boundary (gravitational Casimir) effects in quantum creation of inflationary brane-world Universe

The role of bulk matter quantum effects (via the corresponding effective potential discussed on the example of conformal scalar) and of boundary matter quantum effects (via the conformal anomaly induced effective action) is considered in brane-world cosmology. Scenario is used where brane tension is not free parameter, and the initial bulk-brane classical action is defined by some considerations. The effective bulk-brane equations of motion are analyzed. The quantum creation of 4d de Sitter or Anti-de Sitter(AdS) brane Universe living in 5d AdS space is possible when quantum bulk and (or) brane matter is taken into account. The consideration of only conformal field theory (CFT) living on the brane admits the full analytical treatment. Then bulk gravitational Casimir effect leads to deformation of 5d AdS space shape as well as of shape of spherical or hyperbolic branes. The generalization of above picture for the dominant bulk quantum gravity naturally represents such scenario as self-consistent warped compactification within AdS/CFT set-up.

Scheme-dependence of holographic conformal anomaly in d5 gauged supergravity with non-trivial bulk potential

Bosonic sector of d5 gauged supergravity with specific parametrization of full scalar coset is considered (multi-dilaton gravity). Using holographic RG in the form suggested by de Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde the holographic d4 conformal anomaly (in the sector of curvature invariants) is found when bulk potential is not constant. Its comparison with the earlier calculation done in the scheme where expansion of metric and dilaton over radial coordinate of AdS space is used demonstrates scheme dependence of holographic conformal anomaly. In AdS/CFT correspondence where dilatons play role of coupling constants it coincides with multi-loop conformal anomaly which depends on regularization scheme in interacting dual QFT. Hence, scheme dependence of holographic conformal anomaly is consistent with dual QFT expectations.

Quantum dilatonic gravity in d = 2,4 and 5 dimensions

We review (mainly) quantum effects in the theories where gravity sector is described by metric and dilaton. The one-loop effective action for dilatonic gravity in two and four dimensions is evaluated. Renormalization group equations are constructed. The conformal anomaly and induced effective action for 2d and 4d dilaton coupled theories are found. It is applied to study of quantum aspects of black hole thermodynamics, like calculation of Hawking radiation and quantum corrections to black hole parameters and investigation of quantum instability for such objects with multiple horizons. The use of above effective action in the construction of non-singular cosmological models in Einstein or Brans-Dicke (super)gravity and investigation of induced wormholes in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are given. 5d dilatonic gravity (bosonic sector of compactified IIB supergravity) is discussed in connection with bulk/boundary (or AdS/CFT) correspondence. Running gauge coupling and quark-antiquark potential for boundary gauge theory at zero or non-zero temperature are calculated from d=5 dilatonic Anti-de Sitter-like background solution which represents Anti-de Sitter black hole for periodic time.

AdS/CFT correspondence in cosmology

The attempt to understand if AdS/CFT correspondence may be realized as the one between some AdS-like cosmological space and CFT living on the boundary is made. In order to obtain such cosmology we exchange the time and radial coordinates in d5 Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter (S-AdS) BH (with corresponding signature change). The test on proportionality of free energies from such d5 cosmological space (after AdS/CFT identification of parameters) and from ${\cal N}=4$ SU(N) super Yang-Mills quantum theory is successfully passed.
