The AdS/CFT correspondence and the Quark-Gluon Plasma

by Dr. Viktor Jahnke (ICN-UNAM)

Wednesday, 1 March 2017 from to (Mexico/General)
at ICN-UNAM ( Salon de seminarios de Gravitación y Altas Energías )
Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Avenida Universidad No. 3000, Col. UNAM-C.U. Distrito Federal, C.P. 04510, México
Description
The AdS/CFT correspondence is the best known example of a
gauge/gravity duality. These dualities are realizations of the Holographic
Principle, which asserts that a gravity theory in d+1 dimensions is
equivalent to a d-dimensional gauge theory. Remarkably, the AdS/CFT
correspondence has found applications in the study of the "Quark-Gluon
Plasma" (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. In this talk
I will try to give a basic introduction to the AdS/CFT correspondence and
explain why and under what conditions it can be used to study the QGP.
