Introductory School on Gauge Theory/Gravity Correspondence

Description

The purpose of this School is to introduce the listed topics in a pedagogical manner.  The lectures are aimed at graduate students and young researchers who wish to work on the field.  It is expected that the participants have a basic knowledge of quantum field theory, Yang-Mills theory, general relativity and some supersymmetry.


TOPICS:

•  Introduction to Super Yang-Mills theory and Super Conformal algebras
•  Supergravity theories and their D-brane solutions
•  AdS/CFT duality
•  non-AdS/non-CFT dualities
•  Applications to quark-gluon plasma
•  Holographic QCD


LECTURERS INCLUDE: 

M. Bertolini (SISSA)
G. Ferretti (Chalmers Univ. of Tech., Göteborg)
E. Gava (INFN)
H. Liu (MIT, Massachusetts Inst. of Tech.)
K.S. Narain (ICTP)
