After the usual discussion about the novelties on hep-th (please bring
references), Linus Wulff will present:
Title: The AdS4/CFT3-correspondence
Abstract: I will give an overview of the correspondence between a
three-dimensional N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons + matter theory and M-theory
on AdS_4xS^7 or type IIA string theory on AdS_4xCP^3 conjectured by Aharony
et.al. Some of the tests of the correspondence that have been performed will
also be described.
