In AdS/CFT, we have the GKP-witten relation

$$\left< \exp \left( i \int \phi^{(0)} O \right) \right> = e^{-S[\phi^{(0)}]}$$

why is it natural to formulate string theory on an AdS space? is it a natural background for some particular definite reasons? Is holography naturally formulated in an AdS background?
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
