However,recentdevel- opmentsofsuperstringtheoryinventedanewidea,theso-calledbraneworldwhere matterresidesonthehypersurfaceinhigherdimensionalspacetime[2,3,4,5,6]( seealsoearlierindependentworks[7,8]).Thishypersurfaceiscalled(mem)brane. This idea originates from D-brane solutions in string theory. Interestingly, the D- brane solution also gives rise to the AdS/CFT correspondence which claims that classical gravity in an anti-de Sitter(AdS) spacetime is equivalent to a strongly coupled conformally invariant field theory (CFT). Since the origin is the same, braneworldsandtheAdS/CFTcorrespondencemayberelatedtoeachother.Inpar- ticular,Randall andSundrum(RS) braneworldmodels[9, 10] have a similar geo- metricalsetuptothatintheAdS/CFTcorrespondence.Hence,inthislecture,Iwill try to reveal relations between the AdS/CFT correspondence and RS braneworld models[11].

AdS/CFTonthebrane 7 In the end, we would like to know how nonlinear gravity in the braneworld is deviated fromthe conventionalEinstein gravity.A partialanswer will be givenin thefollowingsections. 3 View from thebrane Intheprevioussection,wehaveconsideredanisotropicandhomogeneousuniverse and seen that the effective Friedmann equation on the brane can be regarded as the conventional Friedmann equation with two kind of corrections, i.e., the dark radiationandhigh-energycorrections.Here,wereviewtwodifferentapproachesto extendtheaboveresulttomoregeneralcases. 3.1 AdS/CFT Correspondence LetusstartwiththeAdS/CFTcorrespondence[28,29,30].Aftersolvingtheequa- tionsofmotioninthebulkwiththeboundaryvaluefixedandsubstitutingthesolu- tion g intothe 5-dimensionalEinstein-HilbertactionS , we obtain the effective cl 5d action for the boundary field h=g .

Inthecaseofthebraneworld,thebraneactsasthecutoff.Therefore,thereisno divergencesintheaboveexpressions.Inotherwords,nocountertermisnecessary. We can regardthe aboverelation as the definition of the “cut off” CFT.

(21) CFT CFT ≡ (cid:20) Z (cid:21) This tells us that the brane models can be described as the conventionalEinstein theory with the cutoff CFT and higher order curvature terms [31, 32, 33, 34]. In termsoftheequationsofmotion,theAdS/CFTcorrespondencereads (4) k 2 Gmn = Tmn +TmnCFT +[R2terms], (22) ℓ (cid:0) (cid:1) where the R2 terms represent the higher order curvature terms and TmnCFT denotes theenergy-momentumtensorofthecutoffversionofconformalfieldtheory.When weapplythisresulttocosmology,weseeCFTcorrespondstothedarkradiationin the braneworld and the higher curvature terms can be reduced to the high-energy corrections. 3.2 GeometricalHolography Here,letusreviewthegeometricalapproach[35].IntheGaussiannormalcoordi- natesystem: ds2=dy2+gmn (y,xm )dxm dxn , (23) (5) wecanwritethe5-dimensionalEinsteintensor Gmn intermsofthe4-dimensional (4) Einsteintensor Gmn andtheextrinsiccurvatureas (5) (4) l Gmn = Gmn +Kmn ,y gmn K,y KKmn +2Kml K n − − 1 + gmn K2+Ka b Kb a 2 6 (cid:16) (cid:17) = gmn , (24) ℓ2 wherewehaveintroducedtheextrinsiccurvature 1 Kmn = gmn ,y, (25) −2 AdS/CFTonthebrane 9 andthelastequalitycomesfromthe5-dimensionalEinsteinequations.Ontheother hand,theWeyltensorinthebulkcanbeexpressedas 3 l ab Cym yn =Kmn ,y−gmn K,y+Km Kln +gmn K Kab −ℓ2gmn .

HowdoestheAdS/CFTcomeintothebraneworld? It was argued that the cutoff CFT comes into the braneworld. However, no one knows what is the cutoff CFT. It is a vague concept at least from the point of view of the classical gravity. Moreover, it should be noted that the AdS/CFT correspondenceisaspecificconjecture.Indeed,originally,Maldacenaconjectured that the supergravity on AdS S5 is dual to the four-dimensional N = 4 su- 5 × per Yang-Mills theory [28]. Nevertheless, the AdS/CFT correspondenceseems to be related to the brane world model as has been demonstrated by several peo- ple [32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41]. Hence, it is important to reveal the role oftheAdS/CFTcorrespondencestartingfromthe5-dimensionalgeneralrelativity. HowaretheAdS/CFTandgeometricalapproachrelated?
