Horowitz and Nissan Itzhaki Department of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106. gary@cosmic.physics.ucsb.edu sunny@solkar.physics.ucsb.edu We find the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the j... CFT corresponding to a moving black hole in AdS. Boosting the black hole to the ; speed of light, keeping the total energy fixed, yields a gravitational shock wave in AdS. The analogous procedure on the field theory side leads to "light cone" states, i.e., states with energy-momentum tensor localized on the light cone. The correspondence between the gravitational shock wave and these light cone states provides a useful tool for testing causality. We show, in several examples, how the CFT reproduces the causal relations in AdS. KEYWORDS: Brane Dynamics in Gauge Theories, Black Holes in String Theory.
