Anti-de Sitter space, thermal phase transition, and confinement in gauge theories
Open accessAbstract
The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on AdS space and boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of J\f = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space.In this description, quantum phenomena such as the spontaneous breaking of the center of the gauge group, magnetic confinement, and the mass gap are coded in classical geometry.The correspondence makes it manifest that the entropy of a very large AdS Schwarzschild black hole must scale "holographically" with the volume of its horizon.By similar methods, one can also make a speculative proposal for the description of large N gauge theories in four dimensions without supersymmetry.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Since tt > 0 in our Green's functions, they are actually retarded correlators, and the large-time decay can be understood in terms of complex frequencies, a thermal analog of the so-called “quasinormal modes” [9].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
