AdS/CFT Correspondence in Condensed Matter

The goal of this text is to introduce, in a very elementary way, the concept of anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to condensed matter physicists. This theory relates a gravity theory in a (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space time to a strongly coupled d-dimensional quantum field theory living on its boundary. The AdS/CFT correspondence can be used to study finite temperature real time processes, such as response functions and dynamics far from equilibrium in quantum critical points in condensed matter systems. Computation of these quantities is reduced to solving classical gravitational equations in one higher dimension than the original theory.
Antonio Pires was born in Ibia in Minas Gerais. At 14 he moved to Belo Horizonte. He graduated in Physics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 1970. In 1972 completed his masters, working on calculations of energy bands in Neon and Argon. In 1976 he obtained his doctoral degree at the University of California at Santa Barbara, United States. He returned to Brazil where he stayed since then as professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Several employees in Brazil and abroad, has published 130 scientific papers in journals. Performs activities in research, teaching, administration and advice. Pires was Associate Editor of the Brazilian Journal of Physics, January 1996 to December 1997. He is a member of the committee for the CAPES evaluation of graduate courses in physics. Currently dedicated to the study of the application of techniques of quantum field theory in low dimensional magnetic systems.
