Abstract
We discuss the spectrum of states of IIB supergravity on AdS(5) x S-5 in a manifest SU(2, 2/4) invariant setting. The boundary fields are de scribed in terms of N = 4 superconformal Yang-Mills theory and the pro posed correspondence between supergravity in AdS(5) and superconformal invariant singleton theory at the boundary is formulated in a N = 4 s uperfield covariant language.
