A. Introduction

1) AdS/CFT correspondence : a direct realization of the Holography principle

Entropy of Black hole: S= f(A); S=A/4 Holography principle: Gravity in the bulk is equivalent to a ga

uge theory on the boundary. ‘ t Hooft (‘93), Susskind (‘94)

AdS/CFT correspondence: Type IIB string theory on AdS5 × S5 dual to N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions General formalism: In the approximation of classical (super) g

ravity

: classical (super) gravity action : boundary values of bulk fields : dual CFT operators.

2) Gravity/Fluid correspondence Long wavelength limit in AdS/CFT correspondence: any quant

um field effectively described by hydrodynamics; CFT becomes conformal fluid

Gravity/Fluid correspondence application: conformal viscous fluid stress tensor can be deduced from the dual gravity (hep-th/0712.2456)
