摘要
I review recent progress on the connection between string theory and quantum chromodynamics in the context of the gauge/ gravity duality. Emphasis is placed on conciseness and conceptual aspects rather than on technical details. Topics covered include the large- N-c limit of gauge theories, the gravitational description of gauge theory thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, and confinement/ deconfinement thermal phase transitions.
