Course Description

Overview

Delve into the second lecture of a series exploring the AdS-CFT conjecture from a general relativity perspective. Join speaker Toby Wiseman from Imperial College London as he continues to unravel the complexities of this fundamental concept in theoretical physics. Part of the ICTP School on Geometry and Gravity, this 78-minute talk builds upon the foundations laid in the first lecture, offering deeper insights into the relationship between anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory. Gain a comprehensive understanding of how this correspondence impacts our view of quantum gravity and high-energy physics. Suitable for advanced physics students and researchers, this lecture provides essential knowledge for those studying the intersection of string theory, quantum field theory, and gravitation.
