Maldacena macarena ;)

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!

but you know those theorists/physicists; they're frozen in a time warp.
