abstract

We examine the AdS/CFT correspondence when the gauge theory is considered on a compactified space with supersymmetry breaking boundary conditions. We find that the corresponding supergravity solution has a negative energy, in agreement with the expected negative Casimir energy in the field theory. Stability of the gauge theory would imply that this supergravity solution has minimum energy among all solutions with the same boundary conditions. Hence we are lead to conjecture a new positive energy theorem for asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We show that the candidate minimum energy solution is stable against all quadratic fluctuations of the metric.

Confinement in Holographic Theories at Finite Theta

hep-th · 2026-03-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Holographic 5D model shows confinement critical temperature falls quadratically with vacuum angle, matches lattice QCD, and allows time-dependent theta to trigger supercooling and altered gravitational-wave spectra.

Quantum Solitons

hep-th · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantum soliton solutions in AdS3 are constructed via branes in 4D AdS C-metric, with negative-mass cases describing thermal CFT backreaction on global AdS3 and positive-mass cases replacing horizons with smooth origins.
