A proposal on some microscopic aspects of the AdS/CFT duality Original Research Article

We suggest a model of the large N limit N = 4 SU(N) SYM as a gas of 3-branes in a 10-dimensional space. Field theory analysis suggests that this 10-dimensional space does not carry the usual gravity dynamics but rather a contraction of it. Using a non-local transformation some aspects of the dynamics of this system are mapped to the dynamics of standard gravitons on AdS5 × S5. In particular some of the correspondence between operator in the CFT and states on AdS is more transparent.
