What lattice theorists can do for superstring/M-theory

Understand

The gauge/gravity duality provides us with nonperturbative formulation of superstring/M-theory.

• Although inputs from gauge theory side are crucial for answering many deep questions associated with quantum gravitational aspects of superstring/M-theory, many of the important problems have evaded analytic approaches.
• For them, lattice gauge theory is the only hope at this moment.
• In this review I give a list of such problems, putting emphasis on problems within reach in a five-year span, including both Euclidean and real-time simulations.
