TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that weakly coupled, large $N, d$-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a class of compact spatial manifolds undergo deconfinement phase transitions at temperatures proportional to the inverse length scale of the manifold in question.

TL;DR: In the course of the work, a perspective on the many research streams which flow into and out of QCD is offered, as well as a vision for future developments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment, are highlighted, highlighting how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the experience of an observer falling into a black hole using the AdS/CFT correspondence, and reconstruct the local bulk operators measured by the observer along his trajectory outside the black hole.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals and argue that these operators are naturally represented as fields in AdS as this makes the underlying linearity of the system manifest.
