Jan Gutowski is visiting the Department of Mathematics at King’s College London today (Wednesday 14 February), and giving a talk in the Triangle Seminar Series on “Highly supersymmetric AdS solutions“. Anti-de-Sitter solutions play an important role in the gauge-theory/gravity correspondence, and understanding their properties has provided important insights into the dual field theories. In the […]
