Anti-de Sitter space is a maximally symmetric solution of Einstein's equations with a negative cosmological constant. It has been conjectured that quantum field theories with conformal symmetry living on the boundary of Anti-de Sitter space are dual to theories of quantum gravity in the bulk. This correspondence between Anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory has led to new insights and applications in quantum gravity, string theory, and condensed matter physics.
