Holographic Duality in Condensed Matter Physics Jan Zaanen Universiteit Leiden

Yan Liu Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

Ya-Wen Sun Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

and Koenraad Schalm Universiteit Leiden

This pioneering and unique treatise shows how the newly developed mathematical techniques of holographic duality can unify the fundamental theories of physics. Written for both students and researchers, this innovative text, with a layered style, deftly applies the mathematical machinery of string theory to the general nature of matter. ‘… an excellent introduction to the recently discovered ‘holographic duality’ between gravity and condensed matter physics. It clearly explains the growing number of remarkable connections between very different areas of physics.’ Gary Horowitz, University of California, Santa Barbara 2015 247 x 174 mm 583pp 79 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-08008-9 Hardback £49.99 / US$79.99 For all formats available, see
