This is the draft/updated version of a textbook on "real-world" applications of the AdS/CFT duality for beginning graduate students in particle physics and for researchers in the other fields. The aim of this book is to provide background materials such as string theory, general relativity, nuclear physics, nonequilibrium physics, and condensed-matter physics as well as some key applications of the AdS/CFT duality in a single textbook. Contents: (1) Introduction, (2) General relativity and black holes, (3) Black holes and thermodynamics, (4) Strong interaction and gauge theories, (5) The road to AdS/CFT, (6) The AdS spacetime, (7) AdS/CFT - equilibrium, (8) AdS/CFT - adding probes, (9) Basics of nonequilibrium physics, (10) AdS/CFT - nonequilibrium, (11) Other AdS spacetimes, (12) Applications to quark-gluon plasma, (13) Basics of phase transition, (14) AdS/CFT - phase transition, (15) Exercises.

Holographic D-brane constructions with dynamical gauge fields
Equips bottom-up holographic D-brane models with dynamical boundary gauge fields and shows that quasinormal mode dispersion relations in equilibrium and nonequilibrium states match hydrodynamics with dynamical U(1) symmetry.

Traversable wormhole with double trace deformations via gravitational shear and sound channels
Double trace deformations create traversable wormholes in AdS5 black branes via gravitational shear and sound channel perturbations that violate ANEC in the hydrodynamic limit.

Comments on higher-derivative corrections in the AdS/CFT duality
Prior works on higher-derivative corrections to holographic superconductors may employ an incorrect AdS/CFT dictionary, so that the direction of change in spontaneous condensate depends on the specific model with no u...
