SUMMARY:Einstein Metrics\, Interacting QFT’s and Confinement in Four and
  Five Dimensions - Bobby Acharya (ICTP Trieste)

DESCRIPTION:M-theory provides a geometric framework to describe a variety 
 of interesting quantum field theories in which the QFT’s arise from Eins
 tein metrics. We motivate a precise definition of this framework which (pa
 rtly) takes the form of the space of complete\, asymptotically conical Ric
 ci flat manifolds in various dimensions. We show how this provides insight
 s into various strongly coupled systems such as non-Abelian gauge theories
  in four and more dimensions and leads to confining string theories in fou
 r and five dimensions. The four dimensional strings can be compared to flu
 x tubes in Yang-Mills theories.
