| AdS/CFT correspondence J omega^{Delta-d+k} = J_{4D} ightThe left hand side is the vacuum expectation value of the time-ordered exponential of the operators over the conformal field theory. The right hand side is the quantum gravity generating functional with the given conformal boundary condition. The right hand side is evaluated by finding the classical solutions to the effective action subject to the given boundary conditions. AdS/CFT_correspondence | |

| David Gross David Jonathan Gross (born February 19, 1941 in Washington, D.C.) is an American particle physicist and string theorist. Along with Frank Wilczek and David Politzer, he was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of asymptotic freedom.In 1973, Gross, working with his first graduate student, Frank Wilczek, at Princeton University, discovered asymptotic freedom, which holds that the closer quarks are to each other, the less the strong interaction (or color charge) between them; when quarks are in extreme proximity, the nuclear force between them is so weak that they behave almost as free particles.
