Quantization of a scalar field in two Poincaré patches of anti-de Sitter space and AdS/CFT

Two sets of modes of a massive free scalar field are quantized in a pair of Poincaré patches of Lorentzian anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, AdSd+1 (d≥2). It is shown that in Poincaré coordinates (r,t,x→), the two boundaries at r=±∞ are connected. When the scalar mass m satisfies a condition 0<ν=(d2/4)...
