Abstract We investigate how quantum dynamics affects the propagation of a scalar field in Lorentzian AdS. We work in momentum space, in which the propagator admits two spectral representations (denoted “conformal” and “momentum”) in addition to a closed-form one, and all have a simple split structure. Focusing on scalar bubbles, we compute the imaginary part of the self-energy ImΠ in the three representations, which involves the evaluation of seemingly very different objects. We explicitly prove their equivalence in any dimension, and derive some elementary and asymptotic properties of ImΠ.Using a WKB-like approach in the timelike region, we evaluate the propagator dressed with the imaginary part of the self-energy. We find that the dressing from loops exponentially dampens the propagator when one of the endpoints is in the IR region, rendering this region opaque to propagation. This suppression may have implications for field-theoretical model-building in AdS. We argue that in the effective theory (EFT) paradigm, opacity of the IR region induced by higher dimensional operators censors the region of EFT breakdown. This confirms earlier expectations from the literature. Specializing to AdS5, we determine a universal contribution to opacity from gravity.

If string theory is correct, then our observable universe may be a three-dimensional "brane" embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. This theoretical scenario should be tested via the state-of-the-art in gravitational experiments — the current and upcoming gravity-wave detectors. Indeed, the existence of extra dimensions leads to oscillations that leave a spectroscopic signature in the gravity-wave signal from black holes. The detectors that have been designed to confirm Einstein's prediction of gravity waves, can in principle also provide tests and constraints on string theory.

The singularity theorems of general relativity predict that gravitational collapse finally ends up in a spacetime singularity1. The cosmic censorship hypothesis (CCH) states that such a singularity is covered by an event horizon2. Despite much effort, there is no rigorous formulation or proof of the CCH. In view of this, examples that appear to violate the CCH and lead to naked singularities, in which non-spacelike curves can emerge, rather than black holes, are important to shed more light on the issue. We have studied several collapse scenarios which can lead to both situations3. In the case of the Vaidya-de Sitter spacetime4, we have shown that the naked singularities that arise are of the strong curvature type. Both types of singularities can also arise in higher dimensional Vaidya and Tolman-Bondi spacetimes, but black holes are favoured in some sense by the higher dimensions. The charged Vaidya-de Sitter spacetime also exhibits both types of singularities5.
