The schedule for this Journal Club on String Theory will be as follows:
1) The latest news in the world of strings
Please bring papers that caught your recent attention and briefly summarize motivations, methods and results.
2) Summing planar diagrams
Angel Uranga will lead a discussion on:
"Summing planar diagrams"
Abstract: I will give a basic overview of the recent work by Kruczensky on
attempting to derive AdS/CFT from open/closed duality.
