Extending AdS/CFT : dual states for new geometries

In this thesis we present research that extends our knowledge of the AdS/CFT correspondence; in particular we look at various non-supersymmetric Spacetimes and their conjectured dual field theory states. We consider known U(l) xU(l) invariant spaces and investigate the requirements for smoothness, w...
