The 12 pages that link to AdS/CFT correspondence, each with the reason it gives.

• String theoryRelated: It gives a precise example of string theory describing gravity through a non-gravitational theory.

• Black hole information paradoxRelated: The boundary theory’s unitary evolution implies that information in the dual black hole is preserved.

• Black hole thermodynamicsRelated: It offers a setting where black hole thermodynamics can be studied through a nongravitational quantum theory.

• Conformal field theoryRelated: It uses conformal theories to encode quantum gravity in a higher-dimensional spacetime.

• M-theoryRelated: The correspondence supplies powerful nonperturbative descriptions of certain M-theory backgrounds.

• D-braneRelated: A stack of D3-branes provides the canonical setting for its gauge/gravity correspondence.

• SupergravityRelated: Supergravity provides tractable gravitational descriptions in key examples of the duality.

• BraneRelated: Brane configurations helped motivate this duality and provide settings for studying it.

• Field and string theory models and techniquesRelated: It translates difficult questions in one theory into calculations in its dual.
