Gauge–string Dualities and Some Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first part of these lectures contains an introductory review of the AdS/CFT duality and of its tests. Applications to thermal gauge theory are also discussed briefly. The second part is devoted to a review of gauge-string dualities based on various warped conifold backgrounds, and to their cosmological applications.

Strings for Quantumchromodynamics
During the last decade, intriguing dualities between gauge and string theory have been found and explored. They provide a novel window on strongly coupled gauge physics, including QCD-like models. Based on a short historical review of modern string theory, we shall explain how so-called AdS/CFT dualities emerged at the end of the 1990s. Some of their concrete implications and remarkable recent ...
متن کاملField Theory Dynamics from Branes in String Theory
I review certain aspects of Hanany-Witten setups and other approaches used to embed (and solve) gauge theories in string theory. Applications covered include dualities in 4 and 3 dimensions, fixed points in 6 dimensions, phase transitions between different geometric backgrounds and dualities between branes and geometry.
متن کاملSchur-Weyl duality as an instrument of Gauge-String duality
A class of mathematical dualities have played a central role in mapping states in gauge theory to states in the spacetime string theory dual. This includes the classical Schur-Weyl duality between symmetric groups and Unitary groups, as well as generalisations involving Brauer and Hecke algebras. The physical string dualities involved include examples from the AdS/CFT correspondence as well as ...
متن کاملNew Perspectives in String Phenomenology from Dualities 1
After a review of some topics concerning the phenomenological applications of perturbative string theory, I discuss to what extent all of it is affected by the recent developements in string dualities. To appear in the proceedings of the Workshop on Phenomenological Applications of String Theory (PAST), ICTP, Trieste (Italy), October 1997.
متن کاملSO and Sp Chern - Simons at Large N
We study the large N limit of SO(N) and Sp(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory on S 3 and identify its closed string dual as topological strings on an orientifold of the small resolution of the conifold. Applications to large N dualities for N = 1 supersymmetric gauge systems in 4 dimensions are also discussed. December 2000
