AdS/CFT correspondence

Layer 1 — Physicsin the string-theory subtree

Maldacena's conjecture: type IIB string theory on AdS₅×S⁵ is dual to N=4 SU(N) super Yang–Mills in four dimensions. First concrete realisation of holographic duality — gravitational bulk dynamics encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary.
