Superstrings, Gauge Theory and Supermagnets — •Volker Schomerus — DESY Theory, Hamburg, Germany

Gauge theories have enormous success in explaining many of the features of our world, though often theorists struggle to extract physics from the microscopic models. Over the last decade, string theorists discovered intriguing dual gravitational descriptions. In supersymmetric versions of QCD, such geometric formulations of conventional gauge theories have already provided novel non-perturbative expressions for quantities that seemed inaccessible through the usual perturbative techniques.
