Gauge Theory and String Theory ; An Introduction to the AdS / CFT Correspondence ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk, I would like to show you some of the recent developments in superstring theory, in particular the relation between gauge theory and string theory. String theory was originally invented as a theory of hadrons, but it was superseded by the gauge theory. It then found its employment in quantum gravity. Now it seems that string theory and gauge theory are meeting again, and I hope this new direction will provide an interesting arena where lattice gauge theorists and string theorists can interact and exchange ideas, benefiting both. Let me begin my talk by posing a question:

Lattice Gauge Theories and the Ads/cft Correspondence
This is the write-up of a set of lectures on the comparison between Lattice Gauge Theories and AdS/CFT results for the non-perturbative behaviour of non-supersymmetric Yang Mills theories. These notes are intended for students which are assumed not to be experts in L.G.T. For this reason the first part is devoted to a pedagogical introduction to the Lattice regularization of QCD. In the second ...
متن کاملA Very Introductory AdS/CFT
The AdS/CFT correspondence, conjectured by Maldecena in late 1997, has been playing an essential role in modern string theory. The original version of this gravity/gauge AdS/CFT correspondence states an equivalence between Type 2B string theory on AdS5 × S and N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in 4D, under certain parameter region. Namely, for these two theories, the operator variables, physical st...
متن کاملTASI Lectures: Introduction to the AdS/CFT Correspondence
This is an introductory review of the AdS/CFT correspondence and of the ideas that led to its formulation. We show how comparison of stacks of D3-branes with corresponding supergravity solutions leads to dualities between conformal large N gauge theories in 4 dimensions and string backgrounds of the form AdS5 ×X5 where X5 is an Einstein manifold. The gauge invariant chiral operators of the fiel...
متن کاملInvestigation of k-string energy using the gauge/gravity correspondence
The AdS/CFT correspondence, or in a more general sense, the gauge/gravity correspondence, is a duality between a string theory or gravity defined on one space and a gauge theory living on the conformal boundary of the same space. The AdS/CFT correspondence has drawn a tremendous amount of attention since the late 1990’s. After all, it sounds so promising and exciting to connect two drastically ...
متن کاملNew results for AdS/CFT and beyond
We report on some recent results within the string/gauge theory correspondence, both in the conformal and in the non conformal cases, for a recently found class of N = 1 dual pairs. These results provide the first cross check of AdS/CFT and field theory techniques like a-maximization. Moreover, they furnish new examples of cascading gauge theories and the first instance of 4d dynamical supersym...
