Permutations and Gauge-String Duality Workshop 2014

Dates : July 21-25.

This workshop at QMUL will focus on recent developments in AdS/CFT - with particular focus on finite N physics, integrability beyond the planar limit, applications of permutation groups, representation theory and topological field theories to gauge-string duality.

Organizers : Dr. Sanjaye Ramgoolam  (QMUL)

                       Prof. Robert de Mello Koch (WITS)

                       Dr. Yusuke KImura (OIQP)

Workshop information and support : Jazmina Moura (j.moura@qmul.ac.uk)
