Maldacena macarena
Theorists are excited about the conjecture put forward recently by Juan Maldacena of Harvard which greatly extends the application of multidimensional string theories to physical field theories.
The annual festival of the string community is the summer Santa Barbara meeting, for which theorist Jeff Harvey of Chicago composed a macarena-like song:
You start with the brane
and the brane is BPS
Then you go near the brane
and the space is AdS
Who knows what it means
I don't I confess
Ehhhh! Maldacena!
Super Yang Mills
With very large N
Gravity on a sphere
flux without end
Who says they're the same
holographic he contends
Ehhhh! Maldacena!
Black holes used to be
a great mystery
Now we use D-brane
to compute D-entropy
And when D-brane is hot
D-free energy
Ehhhh! Maldacena!
M-theory is finished
Juan has great repute
The black hole we have mastered
QCD we can compute
Too bad the glueball spectrum
is still in some dispute
Ehhhh! Maldacena!
