A tour of holographic duality

Perex

Abstract: 

In 1997 Maldacena proposed a remarkable equivalence between  quantum gravity and gauge theory.  Since then this `holographic' duality has had a profound impact on many areas of physics. In this talk I will attempt to give a gentle introduction to the basics of the duality as well as a tour of its successes and applications. I will also touch on  some recent advances and generalizations.
