A principle suggesting that all the information contained in a volume of space can be represented as a theory on the boundary of that space, which relates to string theory through the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Multi-dimensional objects of various dimensionalities (1-D strings to higher dimensions) in string theory, on which strings can end.

One-dimensional objects whose different modes of vibration correspond to various particles.

A conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories: Anti-de Sitter space (AdS) theories in gravitational physics and Conformal Field Theory (CFT) on the boundary of AdS.

These are compact, complex manifolds with special holonomy properties, utilized in string theory to describe the extra dimensions beyond our usual four.

A feature of string theory that relates the physics of a compact dimension of large radius to the physics of a compact dimension with a small radius, inversely related by the string scale.
