Introduction to AdS/CFT Correspondence

Nous sommes heureux de procurer en français, sur ce site web, les informations concernant le fonctionnement general de l'institut Perimeter. Nous pouvons aussi procurer en français toutes informations additionelles sur demande.

Instructor: Rob Myers, Perimeter Institute
Type: University of Waterloo and University of Guelph credit course
Dates: September 29 - December 11, 2009; Fridays at 2:00 pm, Board Room

Course Description:

This will be a course for graduate students interested in learning about the AdS/CFT correspondence or gauge/gravity duality. This is one of the central tools in modern superstring theory. The topics covered include: introduction to superstring theory; D3-branes (at weak and strong coupling); N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory; large-N counting; conformal invariance in field theory; geometry of anti-de Sitter space; field/operator dictionary; computation to correlators; Wilson loops; modeling confinement; black hole mechanics; AdS black holes and thermal gauge theory.
