Abstract

We report on a test of the Maldacena conjecture. This string/field theory correspondence has interesting applications. When combined with Rehren's theorem, it has implications for issues concerning space-time structure and Lorentz symmetry. Our results indicate that the conjecture is correct. We are within 10-15% of the expected results, although the numerical evidence is not yet decisive.
