   Jun 17, 2021 · Alexander Polyakov, a theoretical physicist now at Princeton University, caught a glimpse of the future of quantum theory in 1981. A range of mysteries, from the wiggling of strings to the binding of quarks into protons, demanded a new mathematical tool whose silhouette he could just make out.

   This explains why many scientists think that the AdS/CFT correspondence, discovered by Maldacena in 1997, is one of the most exciting discoveries in modern theoretical physics in the last two decades. Moreover, the AdS/CFT correspondence is an important realisation of the holographic principle.

   Key ideas underlying what is now known as holographic duality in string theory and specifically as holographic QCD (see notably also at holographic light front QCD) were preconceived by Alexander Polyakov (cf. historical remarks in Polyakov (2008)) under the name gauge/string duality (cf. historical review in Polyakov (2008)), in efforts to ...

   The AdS/CFT correspondence is closely related to another duality conjectured by Igor Klebanov and Alexander Markovich Polyakov in 2002. This duality states that certain "higher spin gauge theories" on anti-de Sitter space are equivalent to conformal field theories with O(N) symmetry.

   Did Polyakov understand Liouville physics?

   • Years of toil would lead Polyakov to breakthrough solutions for other theories in physics, but he never fully understood the mathematics behind the Liouville field. Over the last seven years, however, a group of mathematicians has done what many researchers thought impossible.

   How did Polyakov find spiky planets?

   • Polyakov’s first step in exploring the world of random surfaces was to write down an expression defining the odds of finding a particular spiky planet, much as the bell curve defines the odds of meeting someone of a particular height. But his formula did not lead to useful numerical predictions.

   In the field of turbulence I have been looking for a simple model to check conformal theory of this phenomenon, which I developed 2 years ago. The model in question appears to be the Burgers turbulence (which now is in the center of interest of much of hydrodynamics community).
