Baryonic symmetries in \(\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3\): An overview (Q765435): Difference between revisions

Summary: Global symmetries play an important role in classifying the spectrum of a gauge theory. In the context of the AdS/CFT duality, global baryon-like symmetries are specially interesting. In the gravity side, they correspond to vector fields in \(AdS\) arising from KK reduction of the SUGRA \(p\)-form potentials. We concentrate on the \(\text{AdS}_4/\text{CFT}_3\) case, which presents very interesting characteristic features. Following \url{arXiv:1004.2045}, we review aspects of such symmetries, clarifying along the way some arguments in that reference. As a byproduct, and in a slightly unrelated context, we also study \(0x0d8350x0dcb5\) minimization, focusing on the HVZ theory.
