Deriving the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Scott Melville .

The AdS/CFT correspondence has been one of the main engines driving progress in theoretical physics over the last two decades. I will begin by discussing why it is important to arrive at a first principles understanding of the underlying mechanism of this duality relating quantum field theories and string theories (or other theories of gravity). I will then proceed to discuss a very general approach which aims to relate large N QF Ts and string theories, starting from free field theories. This corresponds to a tensionless limit of the dual string theory on AdS spacetime. Finally, I will discuss the specific case of an AdS_3/CFT_2 duality where one can carry this program through to fruition, going from the string theory to the field theory and vice versa.
