We describe toy models of cosmology in asymptotically AdS space-times which have natural gauge theory duals. For spacetimes containing null singularities we argue that the gauge theory provides a well defined evolution in light front time even though the gravity description does not. For models with spacelike singularities examined so far, we identify the signature of such singularities in the gauge theory. However, it is not clear whether these singularities can be "resolved".

We review the holographic duals of gauge theories with eight supercharges obtained by adding very few flavors to pure supersymmetric Yang–Mills with 16 supercharges. Assuming a brane-probe limit, the gravity duals are engineered in terms of probe branes (the so-called flavor brane) in the background of the color branes. Both types of branes intersect on a given subspace in which the matter is confined. The gauge theory dual is thus the corresponding flavoring of the gauge theory with 16 supercharges. Those theories have in general a nontrivial phase structure; which is also captured in a beautiful way by the gravity dual. Along the lines of the gauge/gravity duality, we review also some of the results on the meson spectrum in the different phases of the theories.

We discuss the AdS/CFT correspondence in which spacetime emerges from an interacting theory of D-branes and open strings. These ideas have a historical continuity with QCD which is an interacting theory of quarks and gluons. In particular, we review the classic case of D3 branes and the non-conformal D1 brane system. We outline by some illustrative examples the calculations that are enabled in a strongly coupled gauge theory by correspondence with dynamical horizons in semiclassical gravity in one higher dimension. We also discuss implications of the gauge fluid/gravity correspondence for the information paradox of black hole physics.

The duality conjecture states that [Formula: see text]-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature is expected to be dual to the non extremal black [Formula: see text]-brane at large N. We perform the lattice simulations of SYM for [Formula: see text] to investigate the validity of the conjecture. We show that the conjecture is qualitatively valid by comparing lattice results of the black [Formula: see text]-branes mass with analytic expectations in the gravity side.

We review the status of recent investigations on validating the gauge-gravity duality conjecture through numerical simulations of strongly coupled maximally supersymmetric thermal gauge theories. In the simplest setting, the gauge-gravity duality connects systems of D0-branes and black hole geometries at finite temperature to maximally supersymmetric gauged quantum mechanics at the same temperature. Recent simulations show that nonperturbative gauge theory results give excellent agreement with the quantum gravity predictions, thus proving strong evidence for the validity of the duality conjecture and more insight into quantum black holes and gravity.

We describe the effect of the gravitational [Formula: see text]-parameter on the behavior of the stretched horizon of a black hole in [Formula: see text]-dimensions. The gravitational [Formula: see text]-term is a total derivative, however, it affects the transport properties of the horizon. In particular, the horizon acquires a third-order parity violating, dimensionless transport coefficient which affects the way localized perturbations scramble on the horizon. In the context of the gauge/gravity duality, the [Formula: see text]-term induces a nontrivial contact term in the energy–momentum tensor of a [Formula: see text]-dimensional large-N gauge theory, which admits a dual gravity description. As a consequence, the dual gauge theory in the presence of the [Formula: see text]-term acquires the same third-order parity violating transport coefficient.

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.
