Experimental Tests of the Holographic Entropy Bound
Andreas Karch
Kovtun, Son and Starinets proposed a bound on the viscosity of any fluid in terms of its entropy density. The bound is saturated by maximally supersymmetric theories at strong coup…
Lightcone Quantization of String Theory Duals of Free Field Theories
Andreas Karch
We quantize in light cone gauge the bosonic sector of string theory on Anti-de Sitter space in the zero curvature radius limit. We find that the worldsheet falls apart into a theor…
Field Theory Dynamics from Branes in String Theory
Andreas Karch
I review certain aspects of Hanany-Witten setups and other approaches used to embed (and solve) gauge theories in string theory. Applications covered include dualities in 4 and 3 d…
Six-Dimensional Fixed Points from Branes
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the construction of six dimensional N=1 fixed points in a brane picture involving D6 branes stretching between NS 5 branes.
Matrix Theory and the Six Torus
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the problems associated with Matrix compactifications on T^6.
