Generalized Conformal Symmetry and Oblique AdS/CFT Correspondence for Matrix Theory

Abstract

The large N behavior of Matrix theory is discussed on the basis of the previously proposed generalized conformal symmetry. The concept of `oblique' AdS/CFT correspondence, in which the conformal symmetry involves both the space-time coordinates and the string coupling constant, is proposed. Based on the explicit predictions for two-point correlators, possible implications for the Matrix-theory conjecture are discussed.Comment: LaTeX, 10 pages, 2 figures, written version of the talk presented at Strings'9
