Video Talk: Strebel Differentials and String Theory

Video Seminar @ msri

Open-Closed String duality is one of the central ideas in String theory which is responsible for several striking conjectures such as the AdS/CFT. We will argue that Strebel differentials play a very natural role in implementing this duality bringing one to closer to a general understanding of gauge theories as string theories.
