Title: String/Gauge Duality: (re)discovering the QCD  String in AdS Space
Speaker: Richard C. Brower, Boston University

Abstract:

The original attempt to formulate the nuclear forces as a string
theory was based on strong experimental and theoretical
evidence. However it failed to include the hard parton features which
ultimately led to Quantum Chromodynamics (aka QCD). This talk will
explain how the recent "string counter revolution" of Maldacena may
resolve these difficulties by placing a fundamental superstring in an
Anti-deSitter (AdS) like warped 5th dimension. The lattice solution to
Yang-Mills spectra will be used to support this picture
