Gauge/gravity duality creates new links between quantum theory and
gravity. It has led to new concepts in mathematics and physics, and
provides new tools to solve problems in many areas of theoretical
physics. This book is the first textbook on this important topic,
enabling graduate students and researchers in string theory and
particle, nuclear and condensed matter physics to get acquainted
with the subject. Focusing on the fundamental aspects as well as on
the applications, this textbook guides readers through a thorough
explanation of the central concepts of gauge/gravity duality. For
the AdS/CFT correspondence, it explains in detail how string theory
provides the conjectured map. Generalisations to less symmetric
cases of gauge/gravity duality and their applications are then
presented, in particular to finite temperature and density,
hydrodynamics, QCD-like theories, the quark-gluon plasma and
condensed matter systems. The textbook features a large number of
exercises, with solutions available online at
www.cambridge.org/9781107010345.
