Conference Outline

The aim of this program is to bring a small group of South African researchers together with pre-eminent experts in the ever expanding field of AdS/CFT.  We would like to explore, in an informal setting, the various applications to which the community can apply gauge gravity duality, including


  1. -Spin chains & Integrability

  2. -AdS/QCD

  3. -AdS/Condensed Matter

  4. -Emergent geometry
