Boundary S Matrix and the Anti-de Sitter Space to Conformal Field Theory Dictionary
Abstract
An S matrix analog is defined for anti-de Sitter (Ads) space by constructing ``in'' and ``out'' states that asymptote to the timelike boundary. A derivation parallel to that of the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann formula shows that this ``boundary S matrix'' is given directly by correlation functions in the boundary conformal theory. This provides a key entry in the AdS to conformal field theory dictionary.
