Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics | (smr 2230) (28 March 2011

Description

The Aim of the activity is to provide pedagogical treatment of these subjects in the form of a series of lectures by individual speakers.  The activity is intended for theoretical physicists or mathematicians with knowledge of quantum field theory, general relativity and string theory.


TOPICS:

• Strongly Coupled Quantum Fields and Condensed Matter Systems
• Toward Holographic Duality for Black Holes and Cosmology
• AdS3/CFT2 Duality
• Scattering Amplitudes in N=4 SYM
• Primordial Cosmology
• Dark Matter
• New Physics at LHC
