Hi Polytope24! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS ( talk) 01:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of AdS/CFT correspondence know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 8, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page.

If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence is a conjectured relationship in theoretical physics between two kinds of physical theories. On one side of the correspondence are conformal field theories, including theories similar to the Yang–Mills theories that describe elementary particles. On the other side of the correspondence are are anti-de Sitter spaces (cross section depicted), which are used in theories of quantum gravity, formulated in terms of string theory or M-theory. Proposed by Juan Maldacena in late 1997, the AdS/CFT correspondence represents a major advance in our understanding of string theory and quantum gravity. This is because it provides a non-perturbative formulation of string theory and because it is the most successful realization of the holographic principle, an idea in quantum gravity originally proposed by Gerard 't Hooft. In addition, it provides a powerful toolkit for studying strongly coupled quantum field theories and has been used to study many features of nuclear and condensed matter physics by translating problems in those subjects into more mathematically tractable problems in string theory.

The blurb as it stands now is below:
In mathematics and theoretical physics, mirror symmetry is a relationship between geometric objects called Calabi–Yau manifolds (pictured). The term refers to a situation where two Calabi–Yau manifolds look very different geometrically but are nevertheless equivalent when employed as extra dimensions of string theory. Mirror symmetry was originally discovered by physicists. Mathematicians became interested in this relationship around 1990 when Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Paul Green, and Linda Parks showed that it could be used as a tool in a branch of mathematics called enumerative geometry. Today mirror symmetry is a major research topic in pure mathematics, and mathematicians are working to develop a mathematical understanding of the relationship based on physicists' intuition. Mirror symmetry is also a fundamental tool for doing calculations in string theory, and it has been used to understand aspects of quantum field theory, the formalism that physicists use to describe elementary particles. Major approaches to mirror symmetry include the homological mirror symmetry program of Maxim Kontsevich and the SYZ conjecture of Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, and Eric Zaslow.

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently.

Please email me through Wikipedia, send me a brief message with your email address, and I will send you two prototypes. If you can offer some constructive feedback and/or pick the best image, I will upload it for use in the article.
As for a possible "source", was there a similar illustration in Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe"? I know the documentary demonstrated the concept showing a close-up of a telephone wire.

Don't just delete things. If you see an inaccuracy in a diagram fix it and make it better. I'm sure it's not too hard to edit a diagram in Windows Paint. You are not helping bringing complicated subjects to the general public by deleting diagrams that show things clearly. Diagrams don't have to exit other places. Likewise the text in a Wikipedia article doesn't exist in another place in this exact form.
Here is a diagram but far too complicated so I simplified it. All I've done is take the string duality and AdS/CFT correspondence and combined them in one diagram. They are all related as everyone who works in string theory and AdS/CFT knows. All the links in the diagram I made are explicitly stated either in the AdS/CFT article or string dualities article.
Here is another diagram of dualities. How can you say all these things aren't related and shouldn't be put on a single diagram?
I think you feel like you own the Ads/CFT page. Unless you ARE actually Edward Witten, or Juan Maldacena in which case I bow to your superior knowledge.

The article ABJM superconformal field theory has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Only one reference to the original source provided. Has been a two sentence paper for over five years. Wikipedia not a dictionary, no original research, fails GNG. Only edited four times, unlikely to be contested therefore I am proposing rather than nominating.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

This issue is old and simple: we should help readers to quickly locate references, then and only then they can use Wikipedia articles (which are useless without the actual sources). This is why all my linking. Many refs were broken before I came there (no page numbers, or no full source). I would fix them now, rather than revert to the previous state - this is very easy.

Am I actually allowed to write anything on the M-theory article, or will you just revert it all?
Seriously dude, why do you keep reverting my edits on the M-theory article? In one case, I tried clarifying what was meant by "similar to quarks and leptons" an you told me it meant "quarks and leptons", so I changed it to that, and then you rejected me when I made that change and said, hell no, it's not that either. Get a life, or at least try to help me instead of playing gatekeeper. 75.139.254.117 ( talk) 07:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

The term "quantum strings" is used, so why the objection? And in fact "quantum string theory" searches quite nicely as well. Search with the quotes. - Inowen ( nlfte) 07:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi, A word of caution: you may not be intending to to do so, but from your user page you appear to be blowing your own trumpet. This is not encouraged by Wikipedia. Kindly reduce or remove words containing "I", and oblige. May this message be received with the the same mood, in which it was intended to be received. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:950C:4E3E:49C:61AE:469B:5392 ( talk) 11:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
I need to inform you that we both have similar usernames. Somebody wrote to me on my talk page for something you had done (I really don't know what and am not sure I understood them). This has happened only once. So there are no worries. Hope you have a good night and a great day. By the way have you heard of macroscopic quantum mechanics?

The article ABJM superconformal field theory has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Only one reference to the original source provided. Has been a two sentence paper for over five years. Wikipedia not a dictionary, no original research, fails GNG. Only edited four times, unlikely to be contested therefore I am proposing rather than nominating.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

This issue is old and simple: we should help readers to quickly locate references, then and only then they can use Wikipedia articles (which are useless without the actual sources). This is why all my linking. Many refs were broken before I came there (no page numbers, or no full source). I would fix them now, rather than revert to the previous state - this is very easy. Best regards. Materialscientist ( talk) 20:53, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

This is Polytope4d, whose username is very similar to yours. However my signature is quite distinguishable as you see here (at the end of this message). Just wanted to make you aware :). Happy editing. - Polytope4D ( talk) 18:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
