Gauge/Gravity Duality

29 Jul 2013, 08:00 → 2 Aug 2013, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Main Auditorium (Max Planck Institute for Physics)

Gauge/Gravity Duality has established itself as a major tool for describing strongly coupled systems. At the same time, it provides significant new links between gauge theory and string theory. The aim of the conference is to explore all aspects of gauge/gravity duality, both applied and theoretical, and to generate an extensive exchange of ideas.

At the conference, the topics to be discussed include gauge/gravity duality in the context of:

• Applications to condensed matter systems,
• Applications to heavy ion physics,
• Entanglement entropy,
• Supergravity,
• Higher spin theories,
• Integrability.

The conference is funded by the European Science Foundation through the HoloGrav Network.
