Overview
Explore the foundations of the AdS/CFT correspondence in this comprehensive lecture by David Berenstein from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Delve into the first installment of a series on holography, part of the "Nonperturbative and Numerical Approaches to Quantum Gravity, String Theory and Holography" program. Gain insights into the connection between anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory, a cornerstone of modern theoretical physics. Learn about the theoretical framework that has revolutionized our understanding of quantum gravity and string theory. Suitable for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, this 82-minute lecture provides a solid introduction to one of the most important developments in high-energy physics of the past few decades.
