Baryons, branes, and (striped) black holes : applications of the gauge / gravity duality to quantum chromodynamics and condensed matter physics
The gauge / gravity duality, or holographic correspondence, is a theoretical tool that allows the description of strongly coupled field theory through a dual classical gravity theory. In this thesis, we advance the use of numerical methods in applications of the holographic correspondence to the stu...
