How Does the AdS/CFT Correspondence Impact Modern Theoretical Physics?

The title just came to me:

"Doubly special relative locality of Bilson-Thompson braids in an asymptotically safe, exceptionally simple E₈-valued spin foam"

Mitchell, you forgot some!

"Supersymmetric doubly special relative locality of Bilson-Thompson braids in an asymptotically safe, exceptionally simple E₈-valued spin foam M-theory"

yes, and the end of the abstract will say something like this


"We find the prameter z go to infinity but the space disappears and time changes into space. What does that mean, we will tell you in our next paper, if not maybe the one after that. oh, by the way, we might come up with a different scheme alltogether."

Joking aside, there is something interesting to point out about Mitchell's list.
In many ways Lqg is now running in a different field from the others he mentioned. In 2010 loop gravity achieved a definite concise formulation and now in 2011 evidence is building that this has the right limits.
We currently see numerous papers related to testing:

And we also see considerable growth in the number of loop research papers overall:

2002 http://www-library.desy.de/cgi-bin/spiface/find/hep/www?rawcmd=FIND+DK+SPIN%2CFOAM+OR+QUANTUM+GRAVITY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+OR+QUANTUM+COSMOLOGY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+AND+DATE+%3D+2002+&FORMAT=WWW&SEQUENCE= (25)
2009 http://www-library.desy.de/cgi-bin/spiface/find/hep/www?rawcmd=FIND+DK+SPIN%2CFOAM+OR+QUANTUM+GRAVITY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+OR+QUANTUM+COSMOLOGY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+AND+DATE+%3D+2009+&FORMAT=WWW&SEQUENCE= (142)
2010 http://www-library.desy.de/cgi-bin/spiface/find/hep/www?rawcmd=FIND+DK+SPIN%2CFOAM+OR+QUANTUM+GRAVITY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+OR+QUANTUM+COSMOLOGY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+AND+DATE+%3D+2010+&FORMAT=WWW&SEQUENCE= (154)
2011 http://www-library.desy.de/cgi-bin/spiface/find/hep/www?rawcmd=FIND+DK+SPIN%2CFOAM+OR+QUANTUM+GRAVITY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+OR+QUANTUM+COSMOLOGY%2C+LOOP+SPACE+AND+DATE+%3D+2011+&FORMAT=WWW&SEQUENCE= (112 as of 14 August, 7.5/12 of the way thru the year)

For a rough estimate of what the 2011 crop might turn out to be, multiply that 112 figure by 12/7.5. I would guess at least 160.

To be fair, I would say that Lqg is in the same league as Sugra, Noncommutative field theory, Strings-and=branes. These were the main approaches that were assembled together with Lqg for discussion at this year's Zurich conference on Quantum Theory and Gravitation.

Several of the approaches Mitchell mentioned could be interesting and have an impact some time in the future--though currently being worked on by just a handful of researchers. In others, activity seems to have died down for present, though of course that could change.

Mitchell, you forgot some!

"Supersymmetric doubly special relative locality of Bilson-Thompson braids in an asymptotically safe, exceptionally simple E₈-valued spin foam M-theory"

You are too narrow. I would propose
"AdS supersymmetric Horava-Lifgarbagez doubly special relative locality of Bilson-Thompson braids in an asymptotically safe exceptionally simple E₈-valued spin foam M-theory / CFT entropic unparticle D-brane correspondence: Theory and applications for black hole thermodynamics, cosmology, theory of everything, confinement, large-temperature superconductivity, graphens, and stock market"

 

[sheaf]

Please do not forget the twistor uprising...

"A twistorial approach to AdS supersymmetric Horava-Lifgarbagez doubly special..."

 

[MathematicalPhysicist]

I guess this thread kind of sum up the "trouble with physics, nowadays".

 

[Finbar]

I think we should submit this one to

Let me update it with superluminal neutrinos included:
