Abstract: We formulate an extension of Maldacena's AdS/CFT
conjectures to the case of branes located at singular
points in the ambient transverse space. For singularities
which occur at finite distance in the moduli space of M or
F theory models with spacetime-filling branes, the
conjectures identify the worldvolume theory on the p-branes
with a compactification of M or IIB theory on $AdS_{p+2}
\times H^{D-p-2}$. We show how the singularity determines
the horizon H, and demonstrate the relationship between
global symmetries on the worldvolume and gauge symmetries
in the AdS model. As a first application, we study some
singularities relevant to the D3-branes required in four-
dimensional F-theory. For these we are able to explicitly
derive the low-energy field theory on the worldvolume and
compare its properties to predictions from the dual AdS
model. In particular, we examine the baryon spectra of the
models and the fate of the Abelian factors in the gauge
group.
