D-brane Engineering and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Alberto Zaffaroni - Università di Milano Bicocca
|
|
|
The course will focus on the strong relation between D-brane in string theory and the non-abelian gauge theories. |
|
The plan of the course is (time permitting):
PART I - D-branes
Introduction to D-branes in type II strings
Engeenering of non-abelian gauge theories on D-branes
D-branes as probes
branes and string dualities
PART II - the AdS/CFT correspondence
N=4 SYM and the conformal case
the non conformal case

Lecture notes (preliminary version): Dbranes 1, 2, 3, 4; AdS/CFT 1, 2 |
