Holography and Rotating AdS Black Holes

Abstract

We probe the AdS/CFT correspondence by comparing the thermodynamics of a rotating black hole in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with that of a conformal field theory on $S^3$, whose parameters come from the boundary of spacetime. In the high temperature limit, we find agreement between gauge theory and gravity in all thermodynamic quantities upto the same factor of 4/3 that appears for nonrotating holes.Comment: LaTeX, 13 pages, typos corrected, references adde
