Holographic probes of anti–de Sitter spacetimes

Holographic probes of anti–de Sitter spacetimes

We describe probes of anti--de Sitter spacetimes in terms of conformal field theories on the AdS boundary. Our basic tool is a formula that relates bulk and boundary states---classical bulk field configurations are dual to expectation values of operators on the boundary. At the quantum level we relate the operator …
