TASI Lectures on a Holographic View of Beyond the Standard Model Physics

Understand

We provide an introduction to the physics of a warped extra dimension and the AdS/CFT correspondence.

• An AdS/CFT dictionary is given which leads to a 4D holographic view of the 5th dimension.
• With a particular emphasis on beyond the standard model physics, this provides a window into the strong dynamics associated with either electroweak symmetry breaking or supersymmetry breaking.
• In this way hierarchies associated with either the electroweak or supersymmetry breaking scale, together with the fermion mass spectrum, can be addressed in a consistent framework.
