N=3 Supergravity, from cosmology to holography KU Leuven
Recently there have been surprising advances in the fields of supergravity (SUGRA) and string theory (ST). In ST dualities have been found, which link two, a priori very unrelated, theories. The main example is the AdS/CFT correspondence, where a link is found between a gravitational theory in D +1 dimensions, and a quantum field theory in D dimensions. The idea behind dualities is to construct a consistent dictionary between two theories. ...
