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.

Instructors: Lilia Anguelova and Robert Myers, Perimeter Institute
Type: Guelph Waterloo Physics Institute & University of Waterloo credit course
Dates: October 27 - December 15, 2011 and January 2 - January 30, 2012. Mondays 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm and Thursdays 5:15 pm - 6:45 pm.

This would be a course for graduate students interested in learning about the AdS/CFT correspondence or gauge/gravity duality. This technique has emerged in the past decade as one of the central tools in modern superstring theory.

The topics covered include: 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; modelling confinement; black hole mechanics; AdS black holes and thermal gauge theory.

Interested students should contact Professor Myers at: rmyers[at]perimeterinstitute.ca
