SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on resources for studying AdS/CFT correspondence, particularly for individuals lacking a background in Conformal Field Theory (CFT) or Supersymmetry (SUSY). Key recommendations include McGreevy's and Sundrum's lecture notes, which are noted for their accessibility. Additionally, the latest edition of Zwiebach's book on String Theory is suggested, as it includes a relevant section on AdS/CFT. Participants emphasize the importance of these resources for beginners in the field.
