On the phases of strongly coupled gauge theories from holography

In this thesis we extract properties of strongly coupled quantum field theories using holography. Firstly, we compute the real time two point correlation functions of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on dS3 x S1 with antiperiodic boundary conditions for fermions on the circle. When the circle...
