Surface Operators and Holographic M2-Branes

Explore surface operators and holographic M2-branes in this 45-minute conference talk delivered by Nadav Drukker from King's College, London, UK. Presented as part of the "Holography@ 25" workshop held from June 14-17, 2023 at ICTP-SAIFR, delve into advanced concepts in theoretical physics and string theory. Gain insights into the relationship between surface operators and M2-branes in the context of holography, a powerful tool in understanding quantum gravity and gauge/string duality. Suitable for researchers and advanced students in theoretical physics, this talk offers a deep dive into cutting-edge research at the intersection of string theory, holography, and M-theory.
