Physics Colloquium, October 8, 2002QCD, strings and black holes: The Large N limit of field theories and gravity.Juan MaldacenaPrinceton UniversityWe study Yang Mills theories with a large number of colors. In this limit the theory becomes a theory of strings. We describe the string theory associated to the most supersymmetric version of Yang Mills theory. These strings live in a ten dimensional curved space. This leads to interesting connections between quantum gravity and QCD-like theories. For example, confinement is related to black holes. 3.30 p.m., Smith Laboratory, Room 1005Refreshments served in Smith 1094 at 3:00 p.m. |
