Abstract: The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on AdS space and boundary conformal eld theory relates the thermodynamics of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space. In this description, quantum phenomena such as the spontaneous breaking of the center of the gauge group, magnetic connement, and the mass gap are coded in classical geometry. The correspondence makes it manifest that the entropy of a very large AdS Schwarzschild black hole must scale \holographically" with the volume of its horizon. By similar methods, one can also make a speculative proposal for the description of large N gauge theories in four dimensions without supersymmetry.

The arrow of time, black holes, and quantum mixing of large N Yang-Mills theories
Guido Festuccia,Hong Liu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is intrinsically non-perturbative in the large N limit and the dual string configuration should be interpreted as a stringy black hole.

Confinement in anti-de Sitter space
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum phase transition between a deconfined phase and a confined phase as the gauge coupling is varied is explored, both in a fixed background and in the presence of gravity.

On Thermodynamics of AdS Black Holes in M-Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the thermodynamics and thermodynamical geometry of AdS black holes from M2 and M5-branes, and derived the thermodynamic curvatures from the Quevedo metric.
Quark-Gluon Matter
TL;DR: A concise review of the experimental and phenomenological progress in high-energy heavy-ion physics over the past few years is presented in this article, focusing on measurements at BNL-RHIC and CERN-SPS which provide information on fundamental properties of QCD matter at extreme values of temperature, density and low-x.

Shockwaves and deep inelastic scattering within the gauge/gravity duality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case where the shockwave is probed by a highly virtual projectile, so like in deep inelastic scattering, and compute the respective structure functions including unitarity corrections.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Kaluza-Klein modes of Type IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\times {\bf S}^5$ match with the chiral operators of the super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions.
The Large N Limit of Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity

Particle Creation by Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that quantum mechanical effects cause black holes to create and emit particles as if they were hot bodies with temperature, which leads to a slow decrease in the mass of the black hole and to its eventual disappearance.
Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.
