Description de la ressource

Résumé

It has recently been shown that in addition to describing black holes, gravitational waves, and other gravitational phenomena, general relativity can also describe aspects of nongravitational physics including condensed matter. This is a result of a remarkable gauge/gravity duality that has emerged from string theory. I will explain this surprising development and illustrate it by showing how general relativity can reproduce aspects of superconductivity. It can even reproduce novel aspects of the mysterious high temperature superconductors.

Description : Combining the principles of general relativity and quantum theory still remains as elusive as ever. Recent work, that concentrated on the points of conflict and contact between quantum theory and general relativity, suggests a new perspective on gravity. It appears that the field equations of ...
