Backreaction on AdS/CFT

October 13th, 2006 by Walt

Backreaction has a long post on applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence in heavy ion physics. The topic is interesting because it is a potential experimental prediction derived from string theory. Interestingly, it doesn’t involve string theory as a theory of everything; instead it uses string theory ideas to make calculations about quark-gluon plasma.

    Here’s a nice article on anti-de Sitter space (AdS) called the “The String Theory Landscape” at http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/16/11/3

    Incidentally, is there a MATH counterpart to the above website’s homepage? (On a whim, I tried mathweb.org but it seems to be a software site.)
