Title: Aspects of Wilson loops in various dimensions
Tutor: Diego Trancanelli
Abstract: Gauge theories describe fundamental interactions at the microscopic scale. They most efficiently apply whenever the interaction strengths are small enough, but interesting phenomena emerge from collective behavior of strongly correlated microscopic degrees of freedom, a challenge for analytical predictions of quantum effects. This project will be concerned with the interplay between strongly coupled gauge theories and their dual holographic description within the Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. This will be achieved by considering Wilson loops, an important class of physical observables at the crossroads of the correspondence.
