Difference between AdS/CFT correspondence and History of string theory

AdS/CFT correspondence vs. History of string theory

In theoretical physics, the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, sometimes called Maldacena duality or gauge/gravity duality, is a conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories. The history of string theory spans several decades of intense research including two superstring revolutions.
