'''AdS/CFT''' ('''Anti-de Sitter'''/'''Conformal Field Theory''') Correspondence or '''Holographic duality''' is a conjecture by University of Princeton physicist, Juan Maldacena, which states that a [[quantum field theory]] defined on the conformal boundry of an anti-de Sitter space M is equivalent to a quantum gravity theory defined in the interior of M.

The AdS/CFT Correspondence can explain the temperature and evaporation of a black hole through Hawking radiation in the interior of an anti-de Sitter space M as caused by the interaction of elementry particles on the conformal boundry of M.
