Evidence for non-supersymmetric AdS/CFT

Abstract

AdS/CFT is a conjectured equivalence between a field theory without gravity (conformal field theory) and a string theory in a special curved background (anti de-Sitter space), where theories on both sides of the equivalence is supersymmetric. Since the nature as we observe at low energy is non-supersymmetric, it will be very useful if we can have this conjecture in the non-supersymmetric case. Here we will give some evidence that AdS/CFT type duality must work for non-supersymmetric system. We will indicate some calculation which leads us to such conclusion.
