SYM Correlators and the Maldacena Conjecture

We report on progress in evaluating quantum filed theories with supersymmetric discrete light-cone quantization (SDLCQ). We compare the method to lattice gauge theory and point out its relevance for lattice calculations. As an exciting application we present a test of the Maldacena conjecture. We test the conjecture by evaluating the correlator of the stress-energy tensor in the strong coupling field theory and comparing to the string theory prediction of its behavior as a function of the distance. Our numerical results support the Maldacena conjecture and are within 10-15% of the predicted results.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, talk at Lattice2002(higgssusy), to appear in the proceeding
