The Large N Limit of Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity

Juan M. Maldacena

The large N limit of certain superconformal field theories contains a sector describing supergravity on Anti-de Sitter space times spheres.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We conjecture that compactifications of M/string theory on various Anti-deSitter spacetimes are dual to various conformal field theories.

C2weakest assumption

That the low energy limit decouples the brane field theory from the bulk while still allowing trust in the near-horizon supergravity geometry for large N.

C3one line summary

The large N limit of superconformal field theories is dual to supergravity on Anti-de Sitter spacetimes.
