From Quarks to Strings
A. M. Polyakov
In this article, prepared for the book "The birth of string theory", I recall the sequence of ideas which led to non-critical strings and gauge/strings duality. I also comment on s…
De Sitter Space and Eternity
A. M. Polyakov
This paper explores infrared quantum effects in the de Sitter space. The notion of "eternal manifolds" is introduced and it is shown that in most cases the de Sitter space doesn't…
Beyond Space-Time
A. M. Polyakov
These notes, based on the remarks made at the 23 Solvay Conference, collect several speculative ideas concerning gauge/ strings duality, de Sitter spaces, dimensionality and the co…
AdS Dual of the Critical O(N) Vector Model
I. R. Klebanov, A. M. Polyakov
We suggest a general relation between theories of infinite number of higher-spin massless gauge fields in and large conformal theories in dimensions containing…
