We consider the Maldacena conjecture applied to the near horizon geometry o
f a D1-brane in the supergravity approximation and consider the possibility
of testing the conjecture against the boundary field theory calculation us
ing DLCQ. We propose the two point function of the stress energy tensor as
a convenient quantity that may be computed on both sides of the corresponde
nce. On the supergravity side, we may invoke the methods of Gubser, Klebano
v, Polyakov, and Witten. On the field theory side, we derive an explicit ex
pression for the two point function in terms of data that may be extracted
from a DLCQ calculation at a given harmonic resolution. This gives rise to
a well defined numerical algorithm for computing the two point function, wh
ich we test in the context of free fermions and the 't Hooft model. For the
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with 16 supercharges that arises in the M
aldacena conjecture, the algorithm is perfectly well defined, although the
size of the numerical computation grows too fast to admit any detailed anal
ysis at present, and our results are only preliminary. We are, however, abl
e to present more detailed results on the supersymmetric DLCQ computation o
f the stress energy tensor correlators for two dimensional Yang Mills theor
ies with (1,1) and (2,2) supersymmetries.
