Abstract
Much of modern string theory research concerns AdS/CFT duality, or more generally, gauge/gravity duality. The main subjects are a) Testing and understanding such dualities by exploring how they work for systems with a lot of supersymmetry b) Constructing and exploring approximate string theory duals of QCD c) Applying gauge/gravity duality to other areas of physics such as condensed matter and nuclear physics. I will briefly discuss the first topic.
