Xi Yin's research interest lies in the fundamental aspects of string theory, and what string theory can teach us about other fields in physics and mathematics. Xi Yin's research interest lies in the fundamental aspects of string theory, and what string theory can teach us about other fields in physics and mathematics. Yin's past works involve black holes \[5\], supersymmetric bound states in string theory \[3,4\], conformal field theory and gauge theory in three dimensions \[2\]. His current research focuses on quantum gravity in low dimensions (e.g. \[1\]), as well as the holographic duality between gauge theory and string theory/gravity (a.k.a. AdS/CFT correspondence).
