Description

The gravity/gauge theory duality sheds light on the microscopic properties of black holes. By using a mean-field approximation, we directly analyze the strongly-coupled quantum mechanics non-perturbatively, and describe the black hole microscopic d.o.f. holographically. This helps us to understand the curved geome-try and the horizon mechanism from a gauge theory point of view, and also gives rise to a "quasi-particle" picture of black holes, which shows in a very simple way the area-entropy relation.
