AdS-Conformal Field Theory Correspondence  

AdS-Cft Correspondence in General > s.a. anti-de sitter space / higher-order gravity; non-commutative field theory.
* Idea: There is a conjectured T-duality between physics in the bulk of AdS and a conformal field theory in the boundary; Gravitational physics in 5D anti-de Sitter space is equivalent to a supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, with large N, defined on the boundary of AdS; It seems to work for some more general spacetimes too; 2015, One consequence is that the reach of Einstein's theory has been extended, because one can use methods from gravitational physics to calculate quantities in other areas of physics–for example Green's function on black-hole background spacetimes and superconductivity.
* Motivation: It can be seen as a special corner of string theory where a complete non-perturbative picture is available; In itself this corner does not have realistic physics, but it provides important "existence proofs" for the feasibility of combining gravity and quantum theory.
* Probes: The best-known example is the relation between minimal surfaces in the bulk and entanglement entropy of a subregion in the CFT.
* Maldacena conjecture: A holographic relationship between field theory in 2+1 anti-de Sitter spacetime and a boundary conformal field theory, or between N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in Minkowski spacetime and type IIB string theory compactified on AdS\(_5^~\) ⊗ S5.

Theories and Related Concepts > s.a. duality [gauge/gravity duality]; geometrodynamics; lattice field theory; QCD; Rarita-Schwinger Theory.
* Hole-ography: A prescription relating the areas of surfaces in an AdS bulk to the differential entropy of a family of intervals in the dual cft.
