One of the most useful and fascinating results obtained in string theory is the discovery of the relation between some quantum field theories and gravity. This relation is the core of the so-called "gauge/gravity duality" or also "AdS/CFT correspondence", one of most revolutionary breakthroughs in theoretical physics in the last decades.This correspondence is of the "weak/strong coupling"…
The goal of this proposal is to group together specialists in quantum field theory and string theory to analyse several aspects of the gauge/gravity duality. This is one of most active areas of theoretical physics world wide and São Paulo has several actives researchers in the area. We must contrive ways to get together the researchers in this area in order to take advantage of their expe…
One of the most useful and fascinating results obtained in string theory is the discovery of the relation between some field theories (generalizations of the theories describing for example electromagnetism or nuclear forces) and gravity. This relation is the core of the so-called "AdS/CFT correspondence", one of most revolutionary breakthroughs in theoretical physics in the last decades.…
Over the past 40 years string theory has emerged as the leading candidate for a unifying theory of nature. It posits that all particles are different harmonics of small vibrating strings, much in the way the different harmonics of a guitar string correspond to different musical notes. This simple premise has exciting implications as it reconciles Einstein's theory of gravity with the laws…
The main goal of this PhD project is to study aspects of Gauge/gravity dualities and, more specifically, of holographic entanglement entropy. This has been one of the main areas of investigation in Theoretical Physics in the past few years, where concepts and techniques from diverse areas (string theory, quantum field theory, condensed matter theory and quantum information theory to name …
The scope of this proposal is to investigate higher curvature corrections in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. These are in principle dictated by string theory and would correspond, on the gauge theory side of the duality, to finite N and finite lambda corrections. Our philosophy will be to consider a simple setting where such corrections are under good computational control, nam…

The goal of this project is to address some questions in the intersection between quantum field theory, holography and quantum information theory. The main theme leading our research proposal is how a local effective field theory of gravity in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space can emerge from data of the conformal field theory defined on the boundary of AdS, known as the bulk reconstruction prob…
