Starting with the conceptual basis of the holographic dualities, the subject is developed emphasizing some concrete topics, which are discussed in detail. A very brief introduction to string theory is provided, containing the minimal ingredients to understand the origin of the AdS/CFT duality. Other topics covered are the holographic calculation of correlation functions, quark-antiquark potentials and transport coefficients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-11-01T18:23:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ads/cft correspondence", "third idpasc school", "conceptual basis", "holographic dualities", "concrete topics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/978-3-319-12238-0_10" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 64, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1260585, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.4319R" } } }
