Năstase, Horaţiu [UNESP]2020-12-122020-12-122019-01-01Fundamental Theories of Physics, v. 197, p. 271-285.2365-64250168-1222http://hdl.handle.net/11449/200484In this chapter, we will describe the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates a gravity theory, usually in an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) d+ 1 dimensional background to a field theory with conformal invariance (CFT) in d dimensions, living at a boundary of the space. Therefore the correspondence is an example of a holographic relation, the gravitational physics in the bulk being described holographically (“projected” without losing information) onto the non-gravitational boundary of one dimension less. The AdS/CFT correspondence will be used later on, in part III, for constructing cosmological models. In order to understand that, we will describe the AdS/CFT map for fields and observables.271-285engCapítulo de livro10.1007/978-3-030-15077-8_232-s2.0-85085198201
