Abstract

Description

We obtain the Killing equations and the corresponding infinitesimal isometries for the ten dimensional space generated by a large number of coincident D3-branes. In a convenient limit this space becomes an $AdS_5\times S^5$ which is relevant for the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this case, using Poincare coordinates, we also write down the Killing equations and infinitesimal isometries. Then we obtain a simple realization of the isomorphism between $AdS$ isometries and the boundary conformal group.
