String/Field theory correspondences have been discussed heavily in recent y
ears. Here, we describe a testing scenario involving a non-perturbative fie
ld theory calculation using the framework of supersymmetric discrete light-
cone quantization (SDLCQ). We consider a Maldacena-type conjecture applied
to the near horizon geometry of a D1-brane in the supergravity approximatio
n. Numerical results of a test of this conjecture are presented with orders
of magnitude more states as we previously considered. These results suppor
t the Maldacena conjecture and are within 10-15% of the predicted results.
We present a method for using a "flavor" symmetry to greatly reduce the siz
e of the Fock basis and discuss a numerical method that we use which is par
ticularly well suited for this type of matrix element calculation. Our resu
lts are still not sufficient to demonstrate convergence, and, therefore, ca
nnot be considered to be a numerical proof of the conjecture. We update our
continuous efforts to improve on these results and present some results on
the way to higher dimensional scenarios.
