What is The Ambient Metric (AM-178) (Annals of Mathematics Studies, 178) about?

<p>This book develops and applies a theory of the ambient metric in conformal geometry. This is a Lorentz metric in <i>n</i>+<i>2</i> dimensions that encodes a conformal class of metrics in <i>n</i> dimensions. The ambient metric has an alternate incarnation as the Poincaré metric, a metric in <i>n</i>+<i>1</i> dimensions having the conformal manifold as its conformal infinity. In this realization, the construction has played a central role in the AdS/CFT correspondence in physics.</p><br><p> Th
