AdS/CFT correspondence from the supergravity point of view /

In this dissertation we explore various supergravity aspects of the AdS/CFT duality. According to this correspondence, string/M theory on AdSd+1 is dual to a CFT[d] on its boundary. Taking the supergravity limit of the string/M theory one can do perturbative calculations in the bulk which gives info...
