General conjectures about the SL (2, cZ) modular transformation properties of N= 4
superYang-Mills correlation functions are presented. It is shown how these modular
transformation properties arise from the conjectured duality with IIB string theory on AdS5×
S5. We discuss in detail a prediction of the AdS duality: that N= 4 field theory, in an
appropriate limit, must exhibit bonus symmetries, corresponding to the enhanced
symmetries of IIB string theory in its supergravity limit.
