Abstract

In this work, the ${AdS}_{3}$ gravitational bulk dual to an ensemble of Narain CFTs and their generalisations is investigated to establish bounds consistent with the Swampland program. Focusing on the AdS distance and finiteness conjectures, the central charge of Narain CFTs forming the ensemble is shown to be finite. Combining anomaly and unitary requirements, an upper bound on the rank of the abelian U(1) gauge symmetries that can consistently couple to the ${AdS}_{3}$ gravity is derived. Explicit realisations are given of these constraints by determining the range of the Chern–Simons level $k^{G}$ corresponding to a bounded ${AdS}_{3}$ radius. Accordingly, the Narain landscape is finite with a number of admissible CFTs constrained as $3 / 2 ≲ c ≲ 10^{3}$ .

Narain CFTs景观

本文研究了Narain CFTs系综的ad3 ${\rm AdS}_{3}$引力体对偶及其推广，以建立与Swampland程序相一致的界。在AdS距离和有限猜想的基础上，证明了形成系综的Narain CFTs的中心电荷是有限的。结合异常要求和酉性要求，导出了能与AdS 3 ${\rm AdS}_{3}$引力一致耦合的阿贝尔U(1)规范对称的秩上界。通过确定有界AdS 3 ${\rm AdS}_{3}$半径对应的chen - simons能级k G $k^{G}$的范围，给出了这些约束的显式实现。因此，Narain景观是有限的，允许的CFTs数被约束为3/2 > c > 10 3 $3/2\lesssim c\lesssim 10^{3}$。

期刊介绍： The journal Fortschritte der Physik - Progress of Physics is a pure online Journal (since 2013). Fortschritte der Physik - Progress of Physics is devoted to the theoretical and experimental studies of fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions e. g. elementary particle physics, classical and quantum field theory, the theory of gravitation and cosmology, quantum information, thermodynamics and statistics, laser physics and nonlinear dynamics, including chaos and quantum chaos. Generally the papers are review articles with a detailed survey on relevant publications, but original papers of general interest are also published.
