Some brane theoretic no-hair results (and their field theory duals)

TL;DR

This paper explores higher-dimensional supergravity black hole no-hair theorems and their relation to the AdS/CFT correspondence, providing evidence supporting the Maldacena conjecture through field theory duals.

Contribution

It relates black hole no-hair results in supergravity to the Maldacena conjecture, offering a new perspective and quantitative evidence for the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Findings

Black hole no-hair theorems in higher dimensions analyzed

Connection established between supergravity results and AdS/CFT

Provides new evidence supporting the Maldacena conjecture

Abstract

This contribution to the proceedings of the 1999 Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics is a brief exposition of earlier work, with Sumati Surya (hep-th/9805121) Amanda Peet (hep-th/9903213), addressing certain results in higher dimensional supergravity that are related to black hole no-hair theorems. Its purpose is to describe, in language appropriate for an audience of relativists, how these results can be related to the Maldacena conjecture (aka, the AdS/CFT correspondence). The end product may be taken as a new kind of quantitative evidence in support of the Maldacena conjecture.
