AdS/CFT correspondence

E26862
conjecture in theoretical physics duality holographic duality physical theory

The AdS/CFT correspondence is a conjectured duality in theoretical physics that equates a gravity theory in anti-de Sitter space with a conformal field theory on its boundary, providing a powerful framework for understanding quantum gravity and strongly coupled quantum field theories.
