Department Colloquium: "Gauge theories, strings and gravity"
Juan Maldacena, Institute for Advanced Study
Gauge theories, such as the one describing strong interactions, contain string-like excitations. String theory describes the quantum dynamics of strings and it reduces to gravity at long distances. The simplest…
