The paper “Bulk geometry in gauge/gravity duality and color degrees of freedom“, with sole author Masanori Hanada, has been published this week (6 May 2021) by Physical Review D (link here). The paper contains a breakthrough in gauge/gravity duality. Historically, gauge/gravity duality claims superstring theory is equivalent to certain non-gravitational quantum theories. Although there is […]
