Abstract

We consider the relation AdS/CFT between gravitation defined in a Anti-de Sitter space volume and conformally invariant field theories in the correspondent border, involving condensed matter theories of physical interest in the CFT side, as superconductors and superfluids theories. Our intention is to expand those considerations (AU)
