Maldacena duality |
I just read the Science News article, "Shadow World" (Nov.17, 2007, vol.172,
pp.315-317). It briefly describes both the work of Maldacena and of some
recent applications of his ideas relating black holes to particle physics
and superconductivity. If there is a good, technical survey article on this
body of work, I'd like to read it. Can someone recommend one?

I think I probably read that. But I don't consider Scientific American articles
to be technical survey articles. I'm thinking of something more along the lines
of Annual Reviews in Particle Physics or something like that, even if only
a preprint.

Try the further-information references at the end of the same Scientific
American article. That's the main reason I posted it...
