Non linear realizations of isometry groups, conformal algebras and geodesics in Anti-de Sitter like spaces
Abstract
Description
We present the explicit global realization of the isometries of anti-de Sitter like spaces of signature $(d_-,d_+)$, and their algebras in the space of functions on the pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space $SO(d_- +1,d_+) / SO(d_-,d_+)$. The process of going to the invariant boundaries leads to the realization of the corresponding conformal groups and algebras. We compute systematically the geodesics in these spaces by considering the coset representation of them.
