- Karl-Henning Rehren
Karl-Henning Rehren (born
1956 inCelle ) is a Germanphysicist who focuses onalgebraic quantum field theory .Rehren studied physics in
Heidelberg ,Paris andFreiburg . In Freiburg he received hisPhD (advisorKlaus Pohlmeyer ) in1984 . Habilitation1991 in Berlin. Since1997 he teaches physics inGöttingen .In 1999 he discovered the
Algebraic holography (also "Rehren duality "), a duality in the sense of theHolographic principle , which maps N=4 superconformal SU(N) Yang-Mills theory to an ordinary quantum field theory on AdS5. This is at least in superficial contradiction to the more well known Maldacena duality, theAdS/CFT correspondence .In 2006 he co-authored the controversial review article "Quantum Field Theory: Where We Are" to be published in the book "An Assessment of Current Paradigms in the Physics of Fundamental Phenomena".
