The AdS/CFT correspondence, first proposed by Juan Maldacena in 1997, relates non-gravitational theories with a gravitational theory in a higher dimension, the correspondence being holographic in nature. Since it is a non-perturbative duality, such that a weakly coupled model on one side corresponds to a strongly coupled (hard to solve) one on the other, it has been applied to understand a multitude of interesting strongly coupled problems in various areas of theoretical physics. The various areas represented at the Holography@25 event will include: formal aspects, definition and tests; applications to QCD and nuclear physics; applications to condensed matter theory; applications to black holes, information, chaos and complexity; and applications to integrability.

The Holography@25 event will take place at the ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo, Brazil, and will include a School (June 5-13, 2023) for graduate students and a Workshop (June 14-17, 2023) for researchers. The event will be preceded by an introductory minicourse on AdS-CFT which can be attended online or in the IFT-UNESP auditorium. The AdS/CFT correspondence, generalized to gauge/gravity duality, or in one word, holography, has become an important tool of theoretical physics, and it is the purpose of the School to familiarize the participants with its methods and applications. The School will be followed by a 4-day workshop celebrating the 25th anniversary of the birth of the AdS/CFT correspondence and will bring together researchers who will describe new advances from all the areas of the correspondence discussed at the School.

There is no registration fee and candidates may apply either for one or both activities.

Organizers:

  • Horatiu Nastase (IFT-UNESP, Brazil)
  • Carlos Nunez (Swansea University, UK)
  • Diego Trancanelli (IF-USP, Brazil and Modena University, Italy)

School

November 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the birth of the AdS/CFT correspondence, a momentous discovery that has transformed theoretical physics ever since. It has led to a number of advances in various areas, which will be represented at the school: formal aspects, definition and tests; applications to QCD and nuclear physics; applications to condensed matter theory; applications to black holes, information, chaos and complexity; and applications to integrability. The AdS/CFT correspondence, generalized to gauge/gravity duality, or in one word, holography, has become an important tool of theoretical physics, and it is the purpose of this school to familiarize the participants with its methods and applications.

The school will be held at ICTP-SAIFR from June 5-13 and it is aimed at PhD students, postdocs and outstanding Masters students. It will have 5 lecturers, each giving 4 or 5 lectures of 1.5 hours each, and in the afternoon there will be a problem-solving session, in which the day’s lecturers will be available to help out the students to solve the assigned problems, as well as a Q&A session,

In order to provide students with the necessary background to be able to benefit from the event, there will be an hybrid series of 10 lectures in the 5 days before the event (May 29th to June 2) by Horatiu Nastase, on an Introduction to AdS/CFT. The hybrid lectures will include quick reviews of relevant issues about supersymmetry and supergravity, string theory and conformal field theory, as well as daily problem-solving sessions and Q&A sessions. This will be required for all students who are not familiar with AdS/CFT.

Participants can submit abstracts for the poster session.

This activity will be followed by “Holography@25 workshop.

There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.
