Anti-de Sitter Fragmentation

TL;DR

This paper explores the AdS_2/CFT_1 correspondence, focusing on the placement of the CFT_1 and discussing the decay or fragmentation of AdS_2 space.

Contribution

It summarizes key aspects of the AdS_2/CFT_1 correspondence and addresses the novel issue of where the CFT_1 should reside, along with insights into AdS_2 fragmentation.

Findings

Discussion on the location of CFT_1 in the correspondence

Analysis of AdS_2 decay and fragmentation processes

Summary of previous work on AdS_2/CFT_1

Abstract

Some general aspects of the AdS_2/CFT_1 correspondence, previously discussed in hep-th/9812073, are summarized. The majority of this summary is devoted to the question of where the CFT_1 should live. Almost as a byproduct, the decay---or fragmentation---of AdS_2 is also discussed.
