Abstract

En 中文
We construct geometries describing the quantum backreaction of thermal fields in AdS3. The solutions are obtained from branes in a four-dimensional AdS C-metric. They can be viewed as solutions of the semiclassical effective theory on the brane, which couples three-dimensional gravity to the CFT dual to the four-dimensional bulk. This brane construction is related by a double analytic continuation to earlier studies of quantum BTZ solutions. There are two families of solutions, labelled by the asymptotic mass. Solutions with negative mass correspond to the back-reaction of a thermal CFT state on global AdS3. Solutions with positive mass have a horizon for zero back-reaction, which is replaced by a smooth origin in the back-reacted solution. We study the thermodynamics and first law on the brane, which we argue is realised in a two-brane setup where we include both the quantum BTZ brane and our quantum soliton brane.
