Jose D. Edelstein🇪🇸 · Jonathan P. Shock🇪🇸 · Dimitrios Zoakos🇪🇸
Abstract
We aim at providing an overview on the applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to non-perturbative aspects of non-Abelian gauge theories, addressed to particle physicists. The finite temperature case, in connection with the physics of the quark-gluon plasma, is emphasized.
