Abstract
In 5D relativity, the usual 4D cosmological constant is determined by the extra dimension. If the extra dimension is spacelike, one can get a positive cosmological constant and a 4D de Sitter (dS) space. In this paper we present that, if the extra dimension is timelike oppositely, the negative will be emerged and the induced 4D space will be an asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS). Under the minimum assumption, we solve the Kaluza-Klein equation in a canonical system and obtain the AdS solution in a general case. The result shows that an AdS space is induced naturally from a Kaluza-Klein manifold on a hypersurface (brane). The Lagrangian of test particle indicates the equation of motion can be geodesics if the 4D metric is independent of extra dimension. The causality is well respected because it is appropriately defined by a null higher dimensional interval.…

The Lagrangian of test particle indicates the equation of motion can be geodesics if the 4D metric is independent of extra dimension. The causality is well respected because it is appropriately defined by a null higher dimensional interval. In this 5D relativity, the holographic principle can be used safely because the brane is asymptotic Euclidean AdS in the bulk. We also explore some possible holographic duality implications about the field/operator correspondence and the two-points correlation functions.

I Introduction
The idea that the world may have more than 4 dimensions is due to Kaluza, who realized that 5D manifold can unify Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR) with Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism Kaluza . Then Einstein endorsed the idea, and a major impetus was provided by Klein, who connected it with quantum theory by considering a very small extra dimension Klein . The 5D theory of Kaluza-Klein in a sense laid the foundation for the developments of modern theories such as 11D supergravity and 10D superstrings. At present 5D relativity is expanded to two modern versions: membrane theory and induced-matter theory (IMT) stm-reviews4 . Both theories build the physics in a 5D manifold by using a non-compactified extra dimension. In this paper we focus on the latter. In IMT the traditional gauge symmetry and particle content appearing in the standard model (SM) are embedded in a 5D flat space stm-reviews4 ; stm-reviews1 ; stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 . There are many works studying on it, including the classical tests in solar system stm-apj1 ; stm-apj2 , the big bounce cosmology stm-bigbounce1 ; stm-bigbounce2 , the quasi-normal modes QNM-BH and the thermodynamics entropy1-BH ; entropy2-BH of black hole, and so on. About the latest development of the 5D relativity, please refer to recent review stm-reviews4 . In a word, it cannot be ruled out through current observations.
Due to the fundamental rule of extra spatial dimension in string theory, the spacelike extra dimension is often adopted in higher dimensional gravity. In brane world, the brane is embedded in a Lorentzian multidimensional manifold by assuming a spacelike extra dimension ADD1 ; ADD2 ; RS1 ; RS2 ; RMaartens . However, there is no a priori reason why extra dimensions must be spacelike. The timelike case can not be ruled out by the current observational constraints on the brane world GDvali . This type of higher dimensional gravity can present us different features because of the timelike behaviour. For example, a natural cosmological bounce will appear and the FRW-type singularity is absent if the bulk’s extra dimension is timelike YShtanov . The hierarchy problem can also be reconciled with a correct cosmological expansion of the visible universe by extra timelike dimension in Randall-Sundrum brane MChaichian . The effective 4D cosmological constant vanishes and avoids phenomenological difficulties from the matter instability by constructing one brane configuration in 6D space, in which one extra dimension is spacelike and the other is timelike ZBerezhiani . The generic closed system of equations on a brane that describes its inner evolution is also obtained by considering the bulk spaces with spacelike/timelike extra dimension, and with/without symmetry of reflection relative to the brane YVShtanov . Hence, the spacelike and timelike extra dimensions are both accepted in higher dimensional space.
On the other hand, it is believed that the natural ground state is related to Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space in supergravity. AdS space thus gradually catches people’s attention with the development of supergravity and string theories. In the classical thermodynamic system, the entropy is the characterization of the degree of freedom and its value is proportional to the volume of system (3D). However, when viewing from gravity, the entropy of black hole is proportional to the area of horizon (2D). This phenomenon indicates a 3D world to be the image of data stored on a 2D projection like a holographic image. The degree of freedom of a gravitational system could be described by that of a field in the boundary. t’ Hooft therefore proposed that gravity has the characterization of holography tHooft which is expanded subsequently by Susskind LSusskind . Maldacena conjectured that the t’ Hooft limit of 4D super-Yang-Mills at the conformal point is related to IIB strings JMMaldacena . Under the background of the theory of IIB string is equivalent to that of (3+1)D super-Yang-Mills with symmetric CFT living on the boundary. This conjecture is called AdS/CFT duality, which is regarded as an important achievement of holographic principle and is checked by many tests OAharony . With the development of AdS/CFT duality Witten1 ; Gubser1 ; IRKlebano ; DTSon , people find it could be generalized to a more general situation: gauge/gravity duality, in which the theories of two sides need not to be supersymmetric. The current consensus over holographic duality is that a gravitational theory possible is equivalent to a quantized field theory.
In the 5D relativity, the cosmological constant is determined by the extra dimension stm-reviews4 ; stm-reviews1 ; stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 . The spacelike/timelike extra dimension will offer us a positive/negative . In the literatures, much of the works focused on the spacelike case. However, people have recently found that the timelike extra dimension could be used to describe the de Broglie waves in the Einstein vacuum wavelikes1 or in the medium of radiation wavelikes2 . The waves in vacuum or radiation, which are compatible with 4D wave mechanics, are essentially 5D in nature because the classical 5D Klein-Gordon equations are respected well wavelikes3 . As far as we know, the AdS solution of 5D relativity has not been studied stm-reviews4 . If the timelike extra dimension can give us a negative cosmological constant, we can get the 3D Lorentzian space with one negative constant curvature. Motivated by these situations, we focus on the timelike extra dimension and try to build an AdS solution in a general case.
This paper is organized as follows. In section II, we present a new AdS solution to Kaluza-Klein equation by using a timelike extra dimension. In section III, we calculate the fundamental equations of motion by using the Lagrangian method. In section IV, we present a toy holographic duality implication. Section V is conclusion. Following the notation of Wesson stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 , we absorb the constants , and by a choice of units which renders their magnitude unity. Meanwhile we label 5D quantities with upper-case Latin letters () and 4D quantities with lower case Greek letters (). If there is a chance of confusion between the 4D part of a 5D quantity and the 4D quantity as conventionally defined, we will use a hat to denote the former and the straight symbol to denote the latter.
II Anti-de Sitter solutions and negative cosmological constant
In this section, we solve the 5D Einstein field equation , and try to build a new class of AdS solutions. We first consider a smooth 5D space manifold which has an arbitrary metric tensor satisfying the Kaluza-Klein equations . The line element of 5D is invariant under the group of general coordinate transformations. Then we adopt the canonical coordinates: and in this 5D manifold. In the literatures the canonical coordinate system is extensively adopted wavelikes1 ; cc-BMashhoon1 ; cc-PSWesson1 ; cc-HYLiu ; cc-BMashhoon2 . The metric takes the form . It is possible to define a metric tensor satisfying . Under the canonical coordinates system, the 5D manifold preserves the extra dimension with a distinct geometry structure and its 4D components then can be read directly from . Hence in a canonical coordinate system, we can initially write the 5D metric in the following form as
[TABLE]
where the constant length preserves physical dimensions. In this canonical coordinate system, the extra dimensional coordinate lines are geodesics normal to the constant fifth dimensional hypersurfaces. Consequently, starting from a suitable initial hypersurface of , one can choose the extra dimensional coordinate lines to be the congruence of geodesic lines normal to the initial hypersurface. Along each such line, the 5D interval corresponds to the canonical extra dimensional coordinate. The geometric construction is thus straightforward built under the canonical coordinate system, which could be described as the 5D analogue of the construction of the synchronous coordinate system in 4D space LDLandau .
After choosing a canonical extra dimensional coordinate, the corresponding coordinates of 4D part could still be subjected to arbitrary transformations independent of extra dimension. One may recognize the 4D space part as the AdS metric with a negative cosmological constant which means that the flat 5D space manifold corresponds to the empty AdS space. It turns out that the 4D space of the 5D metric in canonical coordinates is independent of extra dimension, the Kaluza-Klein equations reduce to the vacuum gravitational field equations with a negative cosmological constant. To prove this fact, one can consider the metric in canonical coordinates shown by Eq.(1) and the components of the 5D Ricci tensor can be written as
[TABLE]
where the semicolon denotes the usual covariant differentiation in 4D and the star denotes the partial derivative with respect to extra dimension , e.g. . is a symmetric tensor shown by
[TABLE]
where with . and are the 4D Ricci tensor and the connection coefficients by . The 4D part of Eq.(1) satisfies following Einstein equation,
[TABLE]
Therefore, the energy-momentum tensor is written as
[TABLE]
If the 4D metric is independent of extra dimension, we can have which could ensure the off diagonal and the fifth diagonal vanish. The 4D Ricci tensors satisfy . Then according to the vacuum condition , we can obtain a negative cosmological constant .
On the other hand, if we check the 4D Einstein tensor expressed by
[TABLE]
we can find this equation could be just if the extra dimension is independent of . It is also indicates that the 4D Einstein’s equations reduced from 5D metric (1) has a negative constant . Hence, an is embedded naturally in 5D Ricci flat space. Viewing from the point of modern Kaluza-Klein theory, the negative cosmological constant of gravity is a kind of artifact produced by reducting from 5D to 4D. Therefore, the AdS Schwarzschild black hole of 5D relativity are given by,
[TABLE]
where the metric function is , the 4D cosmological constant is . It should be noticed that this kind of timelike extra dimension is widely used in 5D relativity and does not have the physical nature of a time stm-reviews4 ; wavelikes1 ; wavelikes2 ; wavelikes3 . After checked by computer the solution (9) is indeed the exact solution to Kaluza-Klein field equation .
On the brane identified by the hypersurface of in the 5D bulk, one can immediately get a standard planar 4D AdS Schwarzschild black hole shown by
[TABLE]
where the constant coefficient is absorbed into the 4D line element . It agrees with the general case which has been extensively studied in holographic principle to build an AdS/CFT superconductor Horowitz_PRD ; Hartnoll_PRL , in which the opposite notations are adopted in the metric. The horizon in Eq.(9) is obtained by the null condition . The Hawking temperature therefore is given by
[TABLE]
The heat capacity defined by takes the positive value which ensures the thermodynamic stability. Hence a Schwarzschild black hole could be in thermal equilibrium in the AdS space and the AdS plays the role of a box. It also should be noted that the positive cosmological constant can be obtained by a spacelike extra dimension, and the black hole solutions with cosmological constant are extensively studied in literatures stm-bigbounce1 ; stm-bigbounce2 ; cc-BMashhoon1 ; cc-HYLiu ; cc-BMashhoon2 which are completely different from above AdS solution (9) with a timelike extra dimension.
It is known that the usual 4D AdS space can be embedded in a higher 5D flat space with a timelike extra dimension. This flat space is non-Euclidean and non-Minkowski because the sign of metric is and the sign difference is . These points are very like these of the solutions (1) or (9). Here, we can make this analogy and show the 4D metric of AdS from the 5D Ricci flat space (9). About the detail explanations of usual 4D AdS space embedded in a 5D flat one, please see Ref.Hawking ; liangzhou .
By adopting the coordinate transformations: , the 5D Ricci flat space (9) is rewritten as
[TABLE]
which is just the 5D flat manifold (, ) used to present the usual 4D AdS space in many textbooks such as Hawking ; liangzhou . Following the traditional method, we can define a 4D hypersurface by the following equation
[TABLE]
where is a positive real constant. Then if we use to denote the induced metric on from , we can get the Riemann tensor satisfied where and . Hence, is a constant curvature metric and is the solution of vacuum Einstein equation with negative cosmological constant . Specifying , and by , and in Eq.(13) respectively, we can have a 2D round equation about shown by
[TABLE]
Clearly, the intersection of and the above planar is , and therefore the topology of AdS space is .
Furthermore, in order to more clearly present the 4D AdS metric, we adopt the spherical symmetry coordinate system (, , , ) on the 4D hypersurface ,
[TABLE]
where , , , . It is easy to verify that Eqs.(15)-(19) satisfy the hypersurface equation (13). Substituting the differential forms of Eqs.(15)-(19) into the metric (12), we can obtain the known 4D AdS space as,
[TABLE]
where the curvature of is negative constant . Except for the coordinate singularity, the full AdS space () will be covered by the coordinates (, , , ).
III The equations of motion
Next we need to check whether the motion of particle is geodesics in this new solution? In order to solve this problem, we calculate the Lagrangian of test particle and try to get the fundamental geodesic equation. The coordinate in Eq.(1) is constructed by taking a 4D hypersurface in the 5D manifold in which the lines normal to this hypersurface serves as the extra coordinate. These lines are geodesics and proper length along them is the extra coordinate . This method of constructing a coordinate system is the 5D analog of how the synchronous coordinate system of general relativity is set up in 4D LDLandau . It is certainly possible that this coordinate system breaks down if the coordinate lines in the fifth dimension cross. To this regard, apart from the pathological situations, the coordinates are always admissible within a finite interval along the fifth dimension. The equations of motion could be given by minimizing the distance between two points in 5D through the variation . The path in 5D is described by and with an affine parameter along the path. This relation can be rewritten as and the Lagrangian of particle shown by
[TABLE]
Like the usual GR, the momenta are given by
[TABLE]
where and are the velocities, and . Then according to Euler equation, the equations of motion are given by
[TABLE]
By using above momenta (22) and (23), we can get the corresponding equations of motion,
[TABLE]
In order to keep the usual 4D conservation law about the velocity, namely , we can choose the affine parameter as where is the just 4D part of 5D metric (9). Then the equations of motion (25) and (26)are rewritten as new forms as follows,
[TABLE]
where the 4D relationship is used. It needs to be noticed that we consider the case that 4D is generally dependent on the normal 4D coordinates () and the extra dimension and we can have following differential relation as
[TABLE]
Here, is the usual 4D Christoffel symbol of the second kind shown by
[TABLE]
Then after eliminating parameter by through former definition of , Eq.(28) could be rewritten as
[TABLE]
which can help us to simplify Eq.(27) and obtain the final 4D equations of motion
[TABLE]
Here, is the extra force experienced by a test particle per unit proper mass and is expressed by cc-PSWesson1 ,
[TABLE]
This kind of extra force with different forms will appear in many solutions in canonical system (see Refs.stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 ). Comparing with the spacelike case, we can interestingly find the equations of motion in 4D have the same forms no matter whether the extra dimension is spacelike or timelike. However, when comparing with spacelike case cc-BMashhoon2 , the geodesic equation of timelike extra dimension has a completely different form as
[TABLE]
Moreover, Eq.(34) can be solved completely and the extra dimension is chosen as
[TABLE]
where we are restricting to the 5D null paths, and is the proper time along the geodesic path of the particle. Interestingly, this result is completely different from the case of spacelike extra dimension cc-BMashhoon1 in which the extra dimension has the form of Hyperbolic functions, i.e. . Obviously, the timelike extra dimension could give us a different content when comparing with the case of spacelike extra dimension. In fact, this result can also be justified by a transformation , thereby Hyperbolic functions can be derived from trigonometric identity, namely Abramowitz .
Meanwhile, the nonconservation relationship arises in 5D metric with canonical coordinates. It is distinctive because in usual 4D GR the timelike motions with known forces must obey equations of motion in the form of with which could be obtained by the condition of normalization involving the well-informed 4D velocity . Conversely, the extra force (33) possible is non 4D in origin. To check this, we can decompose into the sum of a component normal to the 4-velocity of the particle and another component parallel to it, which are shown by,
[TABLE]
It becomes very clear that the normal could be due to ordinary 4D forces since it obeys by construction. However, the parallel component has no 4D analog because and in general case. The anomalous extra force is therefore a consequence of the existence of the extra dimension. Hence, the acceleration is not orthogonal to the velocity of the particle because there is relationship and depends on the extra dimension . However, if the metric is independent of , we can have . The path of test particle in 4D is a geodesic shown by formula (32) with . Like the cases of spacelike extra dimension contained the canonical 1-body solution cc-BMashhoon2 and the canonical inflationary solution stm-bigbounce1 , is along the positive direction defined by , which is also determined by the property of timelike extra dimension. This result is independent of whether the extra dimension is spacelike or timelike.
Then we need to discuss the problem of causality. The extra dimension is used commonly to be spacelike, whereas it is also can be timelike in many literatures in higher dimensional theories stm-reviews1 ; stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 . The timelike or spacelike extra dimension does not cause any problem with causality stm-reviews1 . The 5D line element (1) can be rewritten as where is the 4D line element. Hence, the causality is logically defined by the 5D null paths given by wavelikes1 ; wavelikes2 ; wavelikes3 ; stm-reviews3 . The conventional 4D paths for the photon and massive particle can be given by 4D interval or proper time by . When the extra dimension is timelike, and the null geodesics are oscillatory. Therefore, defines the 5D causality. This aspect of the situation is compatible with the condition for causality as defined in 5D.
In the last, The 4D field equations derived here reduce to only if the metric is independent of the extra dimension . Thus the induced cosmological constant comes from the extra dimension in this 5D Ricci flat space. In the last, we need to show the particle geodesics reduce to known solutions when the higher dimensional space is Minkowski. If the 5D space is Minkowski, the sign of metric is and the sign difference is . The extra dimension could be changed from timelike one to spacelike one by a transformation . Hence the 5D space (1) with spacelike extra dimension will reduce to Minkowski when the metric is independent of and reduces to a usual 4D Minkowski metric . In this way, the Lagrangian (21) of particle will reduce to a simple form as
[TABLE]
where is the 5D Minkowski metric, i.e. . Then in this way, the geodesics equations (27) and (28) can well be merged into the usual 5D Minkowski case as,
[TABLE]
where the is defined by usual 5D Minkowski metric . So we can say that if the extra dimension is spacelike, the particle geodesics reduce to the known solutions when the higher dimensional space is Minkowski.
IV A toy model of holographic duality in 5D relativity
In this section, we will check its Euclidean version and study its boundary field defined by the gravity in the bulk (see Fig.1). Although there are various boundary observations that need to be considered, we focus on the simple two-points correlation functions as being a toy implication. The operators dual to scalars and two-points correlation functions of scalar operators are performed in the standard route.
Considering the brane of the 5D relativity solution (9) is asymptotic AdS. The extra dimension does not have the physical nature of a time wavelikes1 , we thus may possibly use the holographic principle on these surfaces. According to the 5D space (9), we can find the parts of (, , , ) dependents the extra dimension, i.e. . Therefore the holographic principle need to consider the full 5D picture. But because the 5D space is Ricci flat and the AdS is induced on the 4D hypersurface , the right correspondence should be between 4D AdS and 3D CFT. In another words, in this model an exists on the 4D hypersurface which is embedded in the 5D Ricci flat space with a non-compactification or compactification extra dimension . Based on the analysis about the induced 4D AdS metric in section II, we can know that the adopted here is different from the usual . The correspondence of is illustrated in Fig.1.
IV.1 field/operator corresponding
We first calculate the scalar field near the Breitenlohner-Freedman boundary. After adopting a coordinate transformation , the Euclidean version of metric (9) reduces to
[TABLE]
where the limit is used.
Before the formal calculation, it is necessary to explain a situation of that the AdS part of 5D metric (41) contains the extra dimensional term, i.e. a coupling factor before the parts of . Therefore, we can not only simple consider the 4D part insider the brackets. Meanwhile, through the Fig.1 we also can find the extra dimension lives the whole space including and . So as a conservative consideration, we proceed from the original 5D spaces (41) to calculate 4D quantum field at the boundary of . The 3D CFT used to implement is actually included in the 4D quantum field at the boundary of . The real duality is the , not the 111Please note that there is no in metric (1) because the 5D space is Ricci flat..
Under above gravitational background a scalar field is considered to exist in this bulk and is adopted as the restriction of to the boundary of AdS. We assume the bulk field is coupled to an operator by on the boundary . Then we consider the scalar field on this background, the action of the scalar can thus be given by
[TABLE]
where is the scalar mass. In order to analyse the boundary field, we use a Fourier expansion with . If we consider the rotational symmetry along the spatial direction, we can get and when . Hence, the linearized field equation for is shown by
[TABLE]
which can be solved with fixed boundary condition at boundary . Submitting the metric (41) into above motion equation, one can get a solvable form of equation about as
[TABLE]
Obviously, the extra dimension effects the boundary field through the coupling to the mass of scalar field. Then we restrain the field near the boundary , and therefore the term of inside the square brackets of Eq.(44) can be ignored safely. Meanwhile, we use a transformation and rewrite Eq.(44) in the following form
[TABLE]
We note that the motion equation (45) is completely different from the usual AdS case Witten1 ; Gubser1 ; JMMaldacena , since the timelike extra dimension is introduced here. There are some non-trivial information, not simply adding a dimension in space. So it is necessary to discuss the dimension of operators of boundary field corresponding to scalar field by using the above formulas. The characteristic equation is given by
[TABLE]
where are the dimensions of duals to scalar field . The roots of Eq.(46) are given by
[TABLE]
It shows us an interesting phenomenon that the mass of field coupling with the extra dimension appeared in the dimensions of operator.
Then we check the Breitenlohner-Freedman boundary condition of . In order to conveniently analyse the stabilization of AdS boundary vacuum, we define a stable extra dimension satisfying Breitenlohner-Freedman boundary condition . We find when , the vacuum of boundary AdS is stable. If the roots of the characteristic equation (46) are not equal with each other, we can have , thus
[TABLE]
where could be real or complex numbers. For the complex numbers case, we have
[TABLE]
where the behaviors of the scalar field is
[TABLE]
with the condition of . Because it is oscillatory solution with enveloping line , the vacuum of boundary AdS with this kind solution is unstable. If , it corresponds to the degenerate states with . The solutions are given by
[TABLE]
After obtaining the Breitenlohner-Freedman boundary, we can give the field/operator correspondence for this scalar field. If and are both real and they are not equal with each other, the boundary field can be derived by the second term in Eq.(48), in which the coefficient is the source of the operator . Thereby, a nonzero leads directly to a interaction term in the Lagrange of boundary field . The coefficient of the first term in Eq.(48) could be treated as the expected value of shown by
[TABLE]
The regular solutions for and mean that operator spontaneously generates a expected value without source. In the momentum space, the correlation function is written as . If we invoke the incoming-wave boundary condition of Minkowski space correlators DTSon , we can get the retarded Green’s functions. Different boundary conditions could give us different quantization schemes. The condition of corresponds to the standard quantization and to an alternative quantization. The solution is the normalizable mode and is non-normalizable mode. According to the requirements of unitarity, the dimensions should satisfy the condition IRKlebano . Hence, if , will not satisfy the above condition which will allow only one boundary condition of . However, for the case , both condition and are allowed. If we add the Dirichlet or Neumann conditions to boundary, we can obtain two kind quantization schemes. For the alternative quantization, we can exchange and in Eq.(48). So corresponds to the source and to the expected value, and is the conformal dimension of operator .
Then one may ask whether a finite temperature field theory exists in this AdS gravity? We will find after using a scaling about and , i.e. and , a form of being asymptotic to AdS at the boundary could be obtained via a rotational transformation ,
[TABLE]
where with horizon . Hence, when , , the boundary field indeed corresponds to the finite temperature and finite chemical potential case in which the metric satisfies the scaling invariance. Near the boundary we use a Wick rotation about , metric (53) reduces to a familiar Euclidean version of AdS,
[TABLE]
In the end of this subsection, we will make a connection with already established results for AdS and check whether our results match that of the usual case. In order to facilitate the comparison with the usual AdS case, we rewrite the metric (41) in the form of
[TABLE]
Then comparing with the known Euclidean version of usual space shown by
[TABLE]
one can find extra dimension appears in all dimensions. For a given hypersurface of , metric (55) will reduce to the usual case with in (56) when we adopt a certain coordinate transformations. According to the results of known case in Refs.BF1 ; BF2 , the scalar field in the Euclidean version of the AdS background metric (56), which can be looked as the analogy of in our calculation, has the following form
[TABLE]
Comparing Eq.(44) and Eq.(57), we can find matches with on the hypersurface when the extra dimension is absorbed into particles’ mass and momentum through , and . Furthermore, near the boundary, Eqs.(44) and (57) all induce to the same equation as Eq.(45) with above scaling . So we can say that if the extra dimension is constant in 5D, the boundary field near in Eq.(44) will well match the usual 4D AdS case BF1 ; BF2 .
IV.2 two-points correlation functions
In this subsection, we consider a free scalar field with mass propagating in it, in which a massless scalar is dual to a marginal operator. It should be noticed that the operator here based on the duality of . However, like the former subsection the AdS part in metric (41) contains the extra dimensional factor , therefore we should consider the operator in the whole 4D field near the boundary of (see Fig.1). The extra dimension lives in the whole space, the dimensions of the field should be the (3 + 1) D field by adding one extra dimension.
Then we can build the boundary to bulk propagator which gives the bulk field configuration for smooth boundary ,
[TABLE]
where is the retarded Green’s function. In the Fourier space , the has following form
[TABLE]
where is the Fourier space’s solution to the mode equation of Eq.(43) as following
[TABLE]
where after using the scaling and , we can write in momentum space. The boundary conditions are and . If we adopt a transformation with and set a new parameter, i.e. , one can find the mode equation (60) reduces to a modified Bessel equation as followings,
[TABLE]
where the solutions are the modified Bessel functions and , which are all regular functions throughout the -plane cutting alone the negative real axis. So the solutions to Eq.(60) are and . Like the standard notation, the conformal weight of the operator is shown by . The second solution is selected by the requirement of regularity in the interior. increases exponentially as and does not lead to a finite action configuration. Hence, the solution regular at and equal one at is given by
[TABLE]
Then by standard integration by parts, we can obtain the on-shell bulk action determined by the boundary field,
[TABLE]
where the flux factor is given by
[TABLE]
It only receives the contribution from the cutoff at because the propagator vanishes at large . Hence differentiating with respect to and , one can obtain two-points function for the operator dual to ,
[TABLE]
where is the partition function defined in Ref. Witten1 ; DTSon . Then if we substitute Eq.(63) into the flux factor , one can obtain the two-points function in a form of series as
[TABLE]
where the leading analytic terms in and the higher order terms in are not listed. For the massless case, i.e. , we can have
[TABLE]
At the last, we will compare our results with the usual Minkowski space in Euclidean version DTSon . We can find three main points are different as followings. Firstly, the mode equation is different. The mode equation of usual Minkowski case given in Ref.DTSon is written as the following form

where is the curvature. Comparing Eqs.(68) and (60), we can find just the first order differential term and particle mass term are different. Because the scalar field equation (43) is determined by the space (41). The 5D used here is Ricci flat and the curvature of 4D induced AdS metric is determined by extra dimension . The mode equation of field (60) drives us to get the results about two-points correlation functions that are different from usual Minkowski case.
Secondly, the orders in the boundary field is different. Although the mode equations (68) and (60) of boundary field can be reduced into the same type of a modified Bessel equation, the orders have different magnitudes, i.e. for this Ricci flat case and for Minkowski case.
Thirdly, the conformal weight of the operator is different, namely for our case and for the Minkowski case. It clearly shows that the timelike extra dimension can effect the two-points correlation functions both in massless and massive fields when comparing with the normal Minkowski space DTSon . The reason of these differences is that the 5D space is Ricci flat and the hypersurface is the induced 4D AdS space. Because the 4D part is dependent on the extra dimension, the correspondence between and must be considered in the full 5D picture, which is illustrated in Fig.1.
V conclusion
In this paper, a general AdS solution of 5D relativity is presented by solving the Kaluza-Klein equation . The timelike extra dimension gives us a 4D negative cosmological constant and a 4D Lorentzian negative constant curvature space. These results are different from the spacelike case. The later offers us the dS solution with a 4D positive cosmology constant stm-reviews1 ; stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 ; stm-reviews4 . We summarize what have achieved and make some further comments.
With the development of gravity, the AdS space has drawn more and more attention. It is believed that through a certain duality the AdS is connected with some quantum fields. The latter could be used to explain many phenomenological physics in the strongly coupled system. However, there is no work related to AdS solution in the 5D relativity stm-reviews4 . With the minimal hypothesis, we find the AdS solution and the negative cosmological constant are naturally obtained if the extra dimension is timelike. Meanwhile, we calculate the motion equation of a test particle and find the 4D motion could be geodesics if . The solution of the part of extra dimension (35) is trigonometric function, which is unlike the Hyperbolic functions in positive cosmological constant cc-BMashhoon1 . Our calculations also indicate that the 5D relativity give the same form of the extra force no matter in dS case stm-reviews1 ; stm-reviews2 ; stm-reviews3 or in AdS case. The parallel part in will not disappear unless the metric satisfies the condition of .
In the AdS solution obtained here, one can find if the extra dimension is timelike, as opposed to be spacelike, the holographic principle can be used on the brane. Both choices of whether extra dimension is timelike or spacelike are allowed because the timelike extra dimension does not have the physical nature of a time wavelikes1 . After a simple implication of holographic duality, we obtain the field/operator corresponding. Comparing with the case of higher dimensional nonzero cosmological constant shown by Witten Witten1 , we will find the mass of field coupling with the extra dimension appeared in the dimensions of operator. If , the boundary condition of is accepted for the unitarity of scalar field. But if , the conditions and are allowed. So after adding the Dirichlet or Neumann conditions to boundary, one can get two quantization schemes. Meanwhile, we also compute the retarded Green’s functions by the prescription of flux factor : G^{R}(k)=-2\mathcal{F}(k,z)\big{|}_{zB} DTSon . The two-points correlation functions are shown in Eq.(66) for massive scalar, and in Eq.(67) for massless case. It indicates the timelike extra dimension can effect the transport property of linear response theory in the region on the boundary.
Finally, we need to clarify the holographic duality used here, and two points need us to pay attention. (i) Because the 5D relativity is Ricci flat, there is no 5D solution to the Kaluza-Klein equations . The usual 4D negative cosmological constant is induced from the extra dimension, and the thus lives on the hypersurface . (ii) There is a coupling factor, i.e. which comes from the extra dimension, before the part of 4D AdS in Eq.(41). Therefore, the method of directly cutting the AdS part from higher dimensional space can not available for the 5D Ricci flat canonical system. Based on the points (i) and (ii), in order to implicate the the holographic duality we adopt a conservative scheme in the way of that the internal key duality is still when considering the point (i), but the holographic duality should be calculated in the whole 5D space when considering the point (ii). So, we should add the extra dimension into the field near the boundary of . The dimension of the field consists of the 3 D from and the 1 D from the extra dimension. In the calculations, we all start from the 5D space (41), and obtain the field/operator corresponding near the boundary of in the subsection IV.1 and the two-points correlation functions in subsection IV.2. The boundary to bulk propagator give us the nonsingular bulk field configuration for any smooth boundary value near the boundary of (see Fig.(1)). The mode equation (61) of Green’s function is derived from the boundary field theory in subsection IV.1.
