Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

In this review, we provide an up-to-date account of quantitative bottom-up holographic
descriptions of the strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic …

It was recently shown that a scalar field suitably coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant G
can undergo a spin-induced linear tachyonic instability near a Kerr black hole. This …

A bstract After turning on an interaction that couples the two boundaries of an eternal BTZ
black hole, we find a quantum matter stress tensor with negative average null energy, whose …

These lectures give an introduction to the quantum physics of black holes, including recent
developments based on quantum information theory such as the firewall paradox and its …

In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its
holographic map** to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and …

A bstract The theory of particle scattering is concerned with transition amplitudes between
states that belong to unitary representations of the Poincaré group. The latter acts as the …

We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …
