We briefly review some of the important developments in the last decade in the theory of multiple M2-branes and AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. Taking the examples of the superconformal index, free energy on S^3 and entropy of charged black holes, we illustrate how the large N limit was studied and the correspondence was checked.

M2-branes 和 AdS/CFT：回顾

我们简要回顾了过去十年多 M2-膜和 AdS4/CFT3 对应理论的一些重要发展。以超共形指数、S^3上的自由能和带电黑洞的熵为例，说明如何研究大N极限并检查对应关系。
