I heard people actually calculated stuff in 2d CFTs (arising from solid state physics ) via string theories using the holographic principle

... which, reading the article, seems to be exactly from a mathematical physical point of view what's going on here
-
he is right - and this type of work has been going on for a while. i first heard it 5 years ago or so
-
not this exactly, but something similar - people tried to use string theory for calculations in super conduction
-
Just to make sure I get that: it's not string theory that's useful here, but the kind of math developed for string theory?
-
I dont think that judgement would be fair. The AdS/CFT duality is a genuine string theory result
-
The point is that a conformal field theory on a surface (a horizon, not necessarily black hole) is equivalent to string theory in the volume
-
With an anti-de-sitter space being that volume

From Sun Microsystems to Blackhole HPC, will be interesting
