Schwinger-Keldysh propagators from AdS/CFT correspondence

We demonstrate how to compute real-time Green's functions for a class of finite temperature field theories from their AdS gravity duals. In particular, we reproduce the 2 × 2 Schwinger-Keldysh matrix propagator from a gravity calculation. Our methods should work also for computing higher point lorentzian signature correlators. We elucidate the boundary condition subtleties which hampered previous efforts to build a lorentzian-signature AdS/CFT correspondence. For two-point correlators, our construction is automatically equivalent to the previously formulated prescription for the retarded propagator.
