Question
This correspondence provides a dictionary to convert correlation functions in the ‘bulk’ into ones for a quantum field theory defined on the ‘boundary’. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this form of holographic duality whose bulk theory is defined for a space of constant negative curvature.
ANSWER: AdS/CFT correspondence [or Anti-deSitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence]
[10m] The AdS/CFT correspondence is used as a tool to formulate and study this generalisation of string theory which unifies the five previously considered superstring theories.
ANSWER: M-theory [the ‘m’ doesn’t really stand for anything, accept membrane-theory I suppose and anything else beginning with ‘m’ just mark it as incorrect and ask if they want to lodge a protest.]
[10e] M-theory, like superstring theory, is an attempt to write down a quantum theory of this force that causes the planets to orbit the Sun.
ANSWER: gravity [or gravitation]
