Introduction to the Maldacena Conjecture on AdS / CFT Jens
نویسنده
چکیده
These lectures do not at all provide a general review of this rapidly growing field. Instead a rather detailed account is presented of a number of the most elementary aspects. Based on Lectures presented at “Quantum aspects of gauge theories, supersymmetry and unification”, School in Leuven, January 18-23, 1999; and on Lectures presented at “Nordic Course on Duality in String and Field Theories”, 4-14 August, 1998, Nordita, Copenhagen. Lecture notes prepared with the help of Troels Harmark.

This is an introduction to the Maldacena conjecture on the equivalence between N = 4 super Yang-Mills in Minkowski space-time and type IIB string theory compactified on AdS5 ⊗ S5.
متن کاملQuantum Fields in Anti-de Sitter Space and the Maldacena Conjecture
We review the relation between the Maldacena conjecture, also known as AdS=CFT correspondence, and the so-called holographic principle that seems to be an essential ingredient for a quantum gravity theory. We also illustrate the idea of holography by showing that the curvature of the anti-de Sitter space reduces the number of degrees of freedom making it possible to nd a mapping between a quant...
متن کاملStress Tensors and Casimir Energies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We discuss various approaches to extracting the full stress-energy tensor of the conformal field theory from the corresponding supergravity solutions, within the framework of the Maldacena conjecture. This provides a more refined probe of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We apply these techniques in considering the Casimir energy of the conformal field theory on a torus. It seems that either generic...

In this report, which is an extended version of that appearing in the Proceedings of GR16, I will give a summary of the main topics covered in Session A.3. on mathematical relativity at GR16, Durban. The summary is mainly based on extended abstracts submitted by the speakers. I would like to thank all participants for their contributions and help with this summary. According to a conjecture by ...
