The AdS/CFT correspondence is a conjecture which relates gauge theories to string theories. In order to better understand this duality, several avenues can be taken, …
We study several aspects of high energy scattering using the AdS/CFT correspondence.We begin with concise theoretical overviews of a few relevant topics. First is a …
We review a field theory approach to Higher Spin Gravity in 4 dimensional Anti de Sitter (AdS) space within the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. …
Nonperturbative issues in quantum gravity in Anti de Sitter spacetimes are addressed by means of the manifestly holographic framework of Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field theory …
Abstract of Holographic Techniques for Strongly Coupled Scattering, by Timothy Gillooly Raben, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2016. Quarks and gluons have historically been difficult to …
This dissertation explores several approaches to quantum gravity, all of them adding some quantum features to an otherwise classical theory. The first part is about …
The AdS/CFT correspondence offers a unique possibility for the nonperturbative investigation of gauge theories, through their conjectured equivalence to string theories. In the past years, …
This dissertation summarizes studies directed at a deeper understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence, its origin and its dynamics. First, classical strings in AdS were considered …
It has been proposed that a hidden conformal symmetry governs the dynamics of low frequency scattering in a general Kerr black hole background, enabling a …
