Background

Juan Maldacena's "The large-N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity" is one of the most cited papers in the history of physics. It introduced the AdS/CFT correspondence as a convenient map for Anti-de Sitter spacetimes. Despite its high impact, the idea remained controversial, since our universe appears to not to be Anti-de Sitter-like.
