This document summarizes research on dual gravitons in AdS4/CFT3 and the holographic Cotton tensor. Key points:
- In AdS4/CFT3, both modes of the graviton are normalizable, allowing duality to interchange the boundary metric g(0) and stress tensor T.
- The Cotton tensor C, which maps a metric to its stress tensor, plays a special role as the "holographic Cotton tensor".
- There is a duality symmetry of the bulk equations of motion under which the linearized metric fluctuations ḣ and Cotton tensor of the dual metric C(ḣ) are interchanged.

Talk given in London, 3 January 2017. The talk has three aims:
(i) To clarify the use of these concepts (‘emergence’ and ‘reduction’) in science, especially in physics.
(ii) Specifically: to argue that the contrast ‘emergence vs. reduction’ poses a false dichotomy, since these two concepts are independent.
(iii) To point out that the independence of the two concepts may open interesting avenues for the philosophy of mind. But I will not work this out in a theory of the mind.
Talk given at Oxford Philosophy of Physics, LSE's Sigma Club, the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Carlo Rovelli's 60th birthday conference.
I construe dualities in physics as particular cases of theoretical equivalence. The question then naturally arises whether duality is compatible with emergence. For the the focus of emergence is on novelty rather than on equivalence.
In the first part of the talk, I review recent work dealing with this question. I exhibit two ways in which duality and equivalence can be made compatible, and I give an example of emergence in gauge/gravity dualities: dualities between a theory of gravity in (d+1) dimensions and a quantum field theory (QFT) in d dimensions.
In the second part of the talk, I present new results on the question whether diffeomorphisms in gravity theories emerge from QFTs. I critically assess the following idea, taken from the physics literature: given that (a) the QFT is not a diffeomorphism invariant theory, and that (b) there is a duality between the QFT and the gravity theory, are we entitled to (c) conclude that the diffeomorphisms of the gravity theory emerge from the QFT?
I argue that one must distinguish different kinds of diffeomorphisms: some diffeomorphisms are ‘invisible’ to the QFT: all of the QFT’s quantities are invariant under them, therefore the QFT does not ‘see’ them. But other diffeomorphisms are ‘visible’ to the QFT. The invisible diffeomorphisms prompt a ‘Bulk Argument’, in analogy with the Hole Argument. The analysis of emergence is different for these different kinds of diffeomorphisms, and I discuss the way in which we can speak of emergence of diffeomorphisms in gauge/gravity dualities.
Pittsburgh talk on Emergence and in Gauge/Gravity DualitiesSebastian De Haro
Talk given at the conference "Effective Theories, Mixed Scale Modeling, and Emergence", Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburg, 2-4 October 2015.
Recent developments in gauge/gravity dualities suggest that RG flows and the dynamics of spacetime are intimately related. The direction along which the theory’s couplings ‘flow’, typically an energy scale, is reinterpreted as a dimension (spatial or temporal) in which fields can evolve. It is often claimed that space, time, and-or gravity ‘emerge’ from a lower-dimensional theory in this way.
The aim of this talk is to: (i) present a framework for discussing emergence in cases of duality; (ii) assess the claims of emergence in the best studied case of gauge/gravity duality: the AdS/CFT correspondence; (iii) comment on the possibility of carrying these ideas over to a cosmological context, viz. of de Sitter space-time.
Regarding (i): after introducing general notions of duality and emergence, I argue that these two notions preclude one another. Coarse-graining comes to the rescue, suggesting two possible ways in which emergence can take place in the case of dualities (and I argue that this exhausts the possibilities). (ii) Then I introduce holographic RG techniques as used in AdS/CFT. And I employ the general framework of dualities and emergence to assess in what sense these are cases of emergence. (iii) In the last part of the talk, I discuss the conjectured dS/CFT correspondence for cosmological scenario’s. After (a) discussing some of the difficulties for holographic theories of de Sitter spacetime, (b) I review current progress on two proposals for dS/CFT, and (c) discuss in what sense time can be said to emerge in such scenarios.
Berlin Slides Dualities and Emergence of Space-Time and GravitySebastian De Haro
Holographic relations between theories have become an important theme in quantum gravity research. These relations entail that a theory without gravity is equivalent to a gravitational theory with an extra spatial dimension. The idea of holography was first proposed in 1993 by ‘t Hooft on the basis of his studies of evaporating black holes. Soon afterwards the holographic AdS/CFT duality was introduced, which since has been intensively studied in the string theory community and beyond. Recently, Verlinde has proposed that Newton’s law of gravitation can be related holographically to the ‘thermodynamics of information’ on screens. I discuss the last two scenarios, with special attention to the status of the holographic relation in them and to the question of whether they make gravity and spacetime emergent. I conclude that only Verlinde’s scheme instantiates emergence in a clear and uncontroversial way. I suggest that a reinterpretation of AdS/CFT may create room for the emergence of spacetime and gravity there as well.
Talk on the philosophy of dualities, in particular AdS/CFT. Joint talk delivered with Jeremy Butterfield at the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, Chicago, 7 Nov. 2014.
Florence Duality Talk: Reduction and Emergence in Holographic Scenarios for G...Sebastian De Haro
Philosophical talk about the status of dualities and the emergence of gravity in two holographic scenarios: 1) AdS/CFT and 2) Verlinde's scenario of emergent gravity.
Based on recent work on quantum gravity and the holographic principle I argue that, instead of thinking of the universe as a 'bubble out of nothing', we should think of space, time, and gravity as emerging 'out of information'.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Dual Gravitons in AdS4/CFT3 and the Holographic Cotton Tensor

Holographic Cotton Tensor

2. Motivation
Holography in 4d
• Usual paradigm gets some modifications in AdS4.
• Existence of dualities.
• 11d sugra/M-theory.
• BGL theory.
3d motivation
• Cotton tensor plays a special holographic role.

3. Outline
• Review of holographic renormalization formulas
• Self-dual metrics in AdS4
• Boundary conditions
• Duality and the holographic Cotton tensor
• Conclusions

Unique solution: φ = √ −sgn(λ)b2+(r+a)2+(x−x )2
ℓ |λ| 0
• Solution is regular everywhere provided a > b ≥ 0.
• a/b labels different boundary conditions.
The boundary effective action can be computed holo-
graphically in a derivative expansion [SdH,Papadimitriou,
Petkou PRL 98(2007); Papadimitriou JHEP 0705:075]:

Γeff[ϕ] = √ d R[g(0) ]ϕ2+2 λ( λ−α)ϕ6]

This agrees with the toy-model action used by [Her-
tog,Horowitz JHEP 0504:005] and with [SdH,Petkou
JHEP 0612:076]. See also [Elitzur, Giveon, Porrati,
Rabinovici JHEP 0602:006].

9. Self-dual metrics
• Instanton solutions with Λ = 0 have self-dual Rie-
mann tensor. However, self-duality of the Riemann
tensor implies Rµν = 0.
• In spaces with a cosmological constant we need
to choose a different self-duality condition. It turns
out that self-duality of the Weyl tensor:
1
Cµναβ = ǫµν γδ Cγδαβ
2
is compatible with Einstein’s equations with a nega-
tive cosmological constant and Euclidean signature.
8
10. This is summarized in the following tensor [Julia,
Levie, Ray ’05]:
1
Zµναβ = Rµναβ + 2 gµαgνβ − gµβ gνα (7)
ℓ
Z is the on-shell Weyl tensor and Zµρν ρ = 0 gives
Einstein’s equations.
• The coupled equations may be solved asymptoti-
cally. In the Fefferman-Graham coordinate system:
ℓ2
ds2 = 2 dr 2 + gij (r, x) dxidxj
r
where
gij (r, x) = g(0)ij (x) + r 2g(2)ij (x) + r 3g(3)ij (x) + . . .
9
11. We find
1
g(2)ij = −Rij [g(0)] + g(0)ij R[g(0)]
4
2 kl 2
g(3)ij = − ǫ(0)i ∇(0)k g(2)jl = C(0)ij
3 3
• The holographic stress tensor is Tij = 3ℓ2 g
16πGN (3)ij .
We find that for any self-dual g(0)ij the holographic
stress tensor is given by the Cotton tensor:
ℓ2
Tij = C(0)ij
8πGN
12. • We can integrate the stress-tensor to obtain the
boundary generating functional using the definition:
2 δW
Tij g(0) =√
g δg ij
(0)
The boundary generating functional is the Chern-
Simons gravity term on a fixed background g(0)ij .
We find its coefficient:
ℓ2 (2N )3/2
k= =
8GN 24
This holds at the non-linear level.
13. We now impose regularity of the Euclidean solutions.
At the linearized level, the regularity condition is:
1 3
¯(3)ij (p) = |p| ¯(0)ij (p) .
h h (8)

The full r-dependence of the metric fluctuations is
now:
¯ij (r, p) = e−|p|r (1 + |p|r) ¯(0)ij (p)
h h (9)
h(0)ij is not arbitrary but satisfies:
3/2¯
h(0)ij = ǫikl ∂k ¯(0)jl .

This is the t.t. part of the linearization of:

15. Boundary conditions
In the usual holographic dictionary,
φ(0)=non-normaliz. ⇒ fixed b.c. ⇒ φ(0)(x) = J(x)
φ(1)=normalizable ⇒ part of bulk Hilbert space
⇒ choose boundary state ⇒ O∆=2 = −φ(1)
⇒ Dirichlet quantization
In the range of masses d2
−4 < m2 < d2
−4 + 1, both
modes are normalizable [Avis, Isham (1978); Breit-
enlohner, Freedman (1982)]

Dual CFT [Klebanov, Witten (1998); Witten; Leigh,

They are related by a Legendre transformation:
W[φ0, φ1] = W [φ0] − d3x g(0) φ0(x)φ1(x) . (14)

Generating fctnl CFT2 ↔ effective action CFT1
(φ1 fixed) (φ0 fixed)
19. For spin 2, the duality conjecture should relate:
g(0)ij ↔ Tij (16)
Problems:
1) Remember holographic renormalization:
gij (r, x) = g(0)ij (x) + . . . + r 3g(3)ij (x)
3ℓ2
Tij (x) = g(3)ij (x) (17)
16πGN
Is this a normalizable mode? Duality can only inter-
change them if both modes are normalizable.
13
20. 2) g(0)ij is not an operator in a CFT. We can com-
pute Tij Tkl . . . but g(0)ij is fixed. Also, the metric
and the stress-energy tensor have different dimen-
sions.
Question 1) has been answered in the affirmative by
Ishibashi and Wald 0402184.
Recently, Compare and Marolf have generalized this
result 0805.1902. Both modes of the graviton are
normalizable.
14
21. Problem 2): similar issues arise in the spin-1 case
where duality interchanges a dimension 1 source Ai
and a dimension 2 current Ji. The solution in that
case was to construct a new source A′ and a new
i
′
current Ji . This way, the gauge field is always fixed.
Duality now acts as:
i
′
(Ai, Ji) ↔ (A′ , Ji ) , (B, E) ↔ (B ′, E ′)
′
Ji = ǫijk ∂j Ak , Ji = ǫijk ∂j A′ (18)
k
Proposal: Keep the metric fixed. Look for an op-
erator which, given a linearized metric, produces a
stress tensor. In 3d there is a natural candidate: the
Cotton tensor.

22. The Holographic Cotton Tensor

• Dimension 3.
• Symmetric, traceless and conserved.
• Conformal flatness ⇔ Cij = 0 (Cijkl ≡ 0 in 3d).
• It is the stress-energy tensor of the gravitational
Chern-Simons action.
16
23. • Given a metric gij = δij + hij , we may construct a
Cotton tensor (¯ij = Πijkl hkl ):

Cij = ǫikl ∂k ¯jl .

• Given a stress-energy tensor Tij , there is always
an associated dual metric ˜ij such that:
h
Tij = Cij [˜]

hij = 4Cij ( T ) . (21)
• Consideration of (Cij , Tij ) is also motivated by
grativational instantons [SdH, Petkou 0710.0965].
Question: Is there a related symmetry of the eom?

29. Given that the relation between the generating func-
tionals is a Legendre transformation, and since dual-
ity relates (Cij [h(0)], Tij ) = ( Tij , Cij [˜(0)]), we may
˜ h
identify the generating functional of one theory with
the effective action of the dual.
For more general boundary conditions, the potential
contains additional terms and the relation is more
involved.

Recall how we defined h(0)ij and ˜(0)ij :
h
hij (r, x) = h(0)ij (x) + r 2h(2)(x) + r 3h(3)(x)
h(3)ij = Cij [˜(0)]
h (36)

31. Fixing h(0) is the usual Dirichlet boundary condition.
Fixing ˜(0) is a Neumann boundary condition. Thus,
h
gravitational duality interchanges Dirichlet and Neu-
mann boundary conditions.
Mixed boundary conditions
Can we fix the following:
Jij (x) = hij (x) + λ ˜ij (x)
h (37)
This is possible via W[h, J]. For regular solutions:
2λ
Jij = hij + 3/2
Cij [h] (38)

32. This b.c. determines hij up to zero-modes:

Cij [h0] = 0 . (39)
This is the SD condition found earlier. Its only solu-
tions are for λ = ±1.

33. A puzzle
If λ = ±1, J is self-dual. We get a contribution from
the zero-modes to the dual stress-energy tensor:
ℓ2
Tij J=0 = ± 2 Cij [h0]

Tij h = 0 . (41)
The stress-energy tensor of CFT2 is traceless and
conserved but non-zero even if J = 0. It is zero if
the metric is conformally flat.

In any dimension d = 2, 4, the formula for the holo-
graphic countertems is:

For a RS brane in AdS4, the quadratic terms are

35. Conclusions
• The variables involved in gravitational duality in
AdS4 are (Cij (r, x), Tij (x) r ). Duality interchanges
D/N boundary conditions.
• Associated with the dual variables are a dual metric
and a dual stress-energy tensor:
˜
Cij [g] = Tij , Tij = Cij [˜].

• The self-dual point corresponds to bulk gravita-
tional instantons.

36. • Thanks to the work of [Ishibashi, Wald 0402184][Com-
pere, Marolf 0805.1902], we now know that both
graviton modes are normalizable (d ≤ 4). This should
have lots of interesting applications.
