- Anti de Sitter space and holographyAdvances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics · 1998 · 13,194 citations
Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large N limits of certain conformal field theories in d dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string theory) on the product of d 4-1dimensional AdS space with a compact…
- Anti-de Sitter space, thermal phase transition, and confinement in gauge theoriesAdvances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics · 1998 · 3,943 citations
The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on AdS space and boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of J\f = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space.In this…
