Contribution

It provides a novel statistical mechanical derivation of supergravity observables within the AdS/CFT correspondence, connecting gravity to thermodynamics.

Findings

Supergravity observables linked to thermodynamical quantities

General Relativity interpreted as a mean-field theory

Thermodynamics of the Superstar solution clarified

Abstract

In this article, we work out the microscopic statistical foundation of the supergravity description of the simplest 1/2 BPS sector in the AdS(5)/CFT(4). Then, all the corresponding supergravity observables are related to thermodynamical observables, and General Relativity is understood as a mean-field theory. In particular, and as an example, the Superstar is studied and its thermodynamical properties clarified.
