Providing a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly developing
field of AdS/CFT correspondence, this is one of the first texts to
provide an accessible introduction to all the necessary concepts
needed to engage with the methods, tools and applications of
AdS/CFT. Without assuming anything beyond an introductory course in
quantum field theory, it begins by guiding the reader through the
basic concepts of field theory and gauge theory, general
relativity, supersymmetry, supergravity, string theory and
conformal field theory, before moving on to give a clear and
rigorous account of AdS/CFT correspondence. The final section
discusses the more specialised applications, including QCD,
quark-gluon plasma and condensed matter. This book is
self-contained and learner-focused, featuring numerous exercises
and examples. It is essential reading for both students and
researchers across the fields of particle, nuclear and condensed
matter physics.
