Finite Temperature and N=4 SYM Plasma - Introductory Minicourse on AdS-CFT

Explore finite temperature and N=4 SYM plasma in this comprehensive lecture from the Introductory Minicourse on AdS-CFT held at ICTP-SAIFR. Delivered by Horatiu Nastase from IFT-UNESP, Brazil, this 81-minute talk delves into advanced topics in theoretical physics. Gain insights into the relationship between finite temperature systems and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma, a crucial aspect of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Suitable for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, this lecture offers a deep dive into the complexities of gauge/gravity duality and its applications in understanding strongly coupled systems.
