A rigorous calculation of the Feynman and Wheeler Scalar Fields propagators in the ADS / CFT correspondence using distribution theory
Abstract
By appeal to Distribution Theory we discuss in rigorous fashion, without appealing to any conjecture (as usually done by other authors), the boundary-bulk propagators for the scalar field, both in the non-massive and massive cases. These calculations, new in the literature as far as we know, are carried out in two instances: (i) when the boundary is a Euclidean space and (ii) when it is of Minkowskian nature. In this last case we compute also three propagators: Feynman's, Anti-Feynman's, and Wheeler's (half advanced plus half retarded). For an operator corresponding to scalar field we obtain the two points correlations functions in the three instances above mentioned
