Primes

• Duality
  • … (∧, ∀) translate mechanically to the other (∨, ∃) via De Morgan's laws, topological and algebraic categories (Boolean algebras ↔ Stone spaces, locally-compact groups ↔ character groups) pair up so that problems in one setting resolve via the other, and physics dualities (Fourier, wave-particle, gauge-gravity

    This sourceEstablished the AdS/CFT correspondence pairing gravitational theories in anti-de Sitter space with conformal field theories on the boundary.

• Embedding
  • In physics, lower-dimensional theories are embedded in higher-dimensional ones, and effective theories in their UV completions.

    This sourceThe canonical instance of relating a lower-dimensional gauge theory to a higher-dimensional gravity theory (gauge/gravity, holographic correspondence).

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract states gauge/gravity duality - a d-dimensional conformal field theory dual to supergravity in higher dimensions - an instance, not the general embedding claim.

    “We conjecture that compactifications of M/string theory on various Anti-deSitter spacetimes are dual to various conformal field theories.”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

• Entropy (Thermodynamic Sense)
  • Maldacena's AdS/CFT correspondence (1997)

    This sourceEstablishes the AdS/CFT correspondence, pairing gravitational theories in anti-de Sitter space with conformal field theories on the boundary — a concrete realization of the holographic principle.

Domain-specific

• AdS/CMT Correspondence
  • Its point is that gauge/gravity duality can turn certain strong-coupling questions into classical or semiclassical gravitational calculations in a controlled model.

    This sourceFoundational gauge/gravity duality and its large-\(N\), supergravity regime.

• Reflected entropy
  • Purification-space conventions and logarithm base matter, it measures total rather than purely quantum correlation and holographic equalities hold under additional large-N or geometric assumptions.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 5 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
