        WG1 Discussion Session
        WG 1 DISCUSSION SESSION For the WG 1 discussion session on gauge/gravity duality on Tuesday afternoon, we have asked some of the speakers to suggest a paper related to their talk. These papers will be serving as basis for the discussion. Participants wishing to prepare for the discussion session are encouraged to take a look at these papers. Questions and comments will be very welcome! - Note that the topic of entanglement entropy will be discussed in the WG 3 discussion session. For WG1, we have collected the following papers: Yolanda Lozano: 1408.0912 Nick Evans: 1307.4896 Karl Landsteiner: arXiv:1207.5808 Jerome Gauntlett: 1406.4742 Charlotte Kristjansen: 1408.3320 Kostas Sfetsos: 1405.7803 Miguel Costa: 1311.5607 --------------------------- Moreover, WG 1 vice-leader Anastasios Petkou will prepare a discussion on higher spin theories, based on these papers: 1404.1094, 1407.4574, 1403.4545
