Towards an exact holographic non-AdS/non-CFT correspondence: black holes and gauge theories (Exact Holography)

Start date: Oct 13, 2008, End date: Oct 12, 2011,

The gauge/string theory duality is one of the most revolutionary ideas in the realm of modern theoretical physics. A concrete realization of such a duality has been provided by the AdS/CFT conjecture, stating a holographic correspondence between string theory on a given curved background and a four-dimensional superconformal field theory. This has led to crucial conceptual advances in two longstan ...

Detailed Modelling of Low- and Intermediate-Mass Binary Stars (LIMBS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

"The study of binary stars is critical to all branches of astronomy. Binary stars allow a precise determination of stellar masses and provide the unique evolutionary path leading to type Ia supernovae, novae, X-ray bursts and possibly even gamma-ray bursts. However, systematic models of the various physical processes involved during the evolution of interacting low- and intermediate-mass wide bina ...

Identification of mechanisms controlling temporal neurogenesis in the cortex using an embryonic stem cells-based model (from ES to neurons)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2009,

The cerebral cortex is one of the most complex and important structures in our brain. In correlation with its elaborate functions, the neocortex comprises a huge diversity of neuronal types, each cortical neuron displaying specific patterns of differentiation and connectivity. During development, embryonic progenitors sequentially generate the diverse repertoire of neuronal subtypes that will form ...
