Compactification of type IIB superstring on an AdS{sub 5}{times}S{sup 5}/{Gamma} background leads to SU(N) gauge field theories with prescribed matter representations. In the {close_quote}t Hooft limit of large {ital N} such theories are conformally finite. For finite {ital N} and broken supersymmetry (N=0) I derive the constraints to be two-loop conformal and examine the consequences for a wide choice of {Gamma} and its embedding {Gamma}{contained_in}C{sup 3}({contains}S{sup 5}). {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
