Abstract:

This is a concise and pragmatic course on Applied Holography and especially the basic analytic and numerical techniques involved. The lectures are not focused on the large theoretical and fundamental background, which can be found already in several places in the literature, but rather on concrete applications of Bottom-Up AdS-CFT to Hydrodynamics, QCD and Condensed Matter. The idea is to accompany the students step by step through the various benchmark examples with a classmate attitude, providing details of the computations and open-source numerical codes in Mathematica, and sharing simple tricks and warnings. At the end of this path, the students will be in possess of all the fundamental skills and tools to learn by themselves more advanced techniques and to produce independent and novel research on the topic.
