Quark Soup al dente: Applied Superstring Theory
R. C. Myers, S. E. Vazquez
We discuss the application of the AdS/CFT correspondence to possibly gain new physical insights for the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. This article provides an informal summa…

Giant magnon bound states from strongly coupled N=4 SYM
David Berenstein, Samuel E. Vazquez
We calculate in a very simple way the spectrum of giant magnon bound states at strong coupling in N=4 SYM, by utilizing the description of the field theory vacuum in terms of a con…

Reconstructing 1/2 BPS Space-Time Metrics from Matrix Models and Spin Chains
Samuel E. Vazquez
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we address the question of how to measure complicated space-time metrics using gauge theory probes. In particular, we consider the case of the 1/2…
