From a consistent Kaluza-Klein truncation of 11-dimensional supergravity over AdS_4 x CP^3 x S^1/Z_k, with a general 4-form ansatz, we arrive at a set of equations and solutions for the included fields. In particular, we have a bulk…
We compute a family of scalar loop diagrams in $AdS$. We use the spectral representation to derive various bulk vertex/propagator identities, and these identities enable to reduce certain loop bubble diagrams to lower loop diagrams, and…
We study spectral flow preserving four-point correlation functions in the AdS3-WZNW model using the Coulomb gas method on the sphere. We present a multiple integral realization of the conformal blocks and explicitly compute amplitudes…
We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions of conserved higher-spin supercurrents in 3D, $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theory. It is shown that supersymmetry imposes additional restrictions on correlation functions…
According to the AdS/CFT duality, the superconformal index of a superconformal field theory should have an AdS interpretation as a Euclidean functional integral with periodic boundary conditions on the fermions. Unlike the thermal case, the…
We consider the N=4 SU(N) Super Yang Mills theory on the Coulomb branch with gauge symmetry broken to S(U(N_1) x U(N_2)). By integrating the W particles, the effective action near the IR SU(N_i) conformal fixed points is seen to be a…
Three-point functions of Wess-Zumino-Witten models are investigated. In particular, we study the level-dependence of three-point functions in the models based on algebras $su(3)$ and $su(4)$. We find a correspondence with…
Global symmetries play an important role in classifying the spectrum of a gauge theory. In the context of the AdS/CFT duality, global baryon-like symmetries are specially interesting. In the gravity side, they correspond to vector fields in…
String theory contains solutions with SL(2,R)_R x U(1)_L-invariant warped AdS3 (WAdS3) factors arising as continuous deformations of ordinary AdS3 factors. We propose that some of these are holographically dual to the IR limits of nonlocal…
We perform Monte Carlo calculation of correlation functions in 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R*S^3 in the planar limit. In order to circumvent the well-known problem of lattice SUSY, we adopt the idea of a novel large-N reduction, which…
We use the AdS/CFT duality to study the special point on the Coulomb branch of ${\cal N}=4$ SU(N) gauge theory which corresponds to a spherically symmetric shell of D3-branes. This point is of interest both because the spacetime region…
The bulk partition function of pure Chern-Simons theory on a three-manifold is a state in the space of conformal blocks of the dual boundary RCFT, and therefore transforms non-trivially under the boundary modular group. In contrast the bulk…
We study the proposed duality between the 5-dimensional supergravity/superstring on $AdS_3\times S^2$ and the 2-dimensional N=(0,4) SCFT defined on the boundary of AdS-space. We construct explicitly the N=(0,4) SCFT by imposing the `quiver…
We explore the connection between anti-deSitter supergravity and gauge theory, in the context of bound states of many D1 and D5 branes. The near-horizon $AdS_3$ supergravity describes the identity sector of the conformal field theory…
We perform nonperturbative studies of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory by Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, we calculate the correlation functions of chiral primary operators to test the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our results agree with the…
We consider the AdS space formulation of the classical dynamics deriving from the Stueckelberg Lagrangian. The on-shell action is shown to be free of infrared singularities as the vector boson mass tends to zero. In this limit the model…
For the 11-dimensional supergravity over AdS_4 x S^7/Z_k, beginning with a general 4-from ansatz and the main geometry unchanged, we get a tower of massive and tachyonic pseudoscalars. Indeed, the resultant equations can be assigned to the…
In this paper we study the AdS/CFT correspondence in the operator formalism without assuming the GKPW relation. We explicitly show that the low energy spectrum of the large N limit of CFT, which is realized by a strong coupling gauge…
String theory on AdS${}_3\times$ S${}^3\times$ T${}^4$ geometries supported by a combination of NS-NS and R-R charges is believed to be integrable. We elucidate the kinematics and analytic structure of worldsheet excitations in mixed charge…
In the AdS/CFT duality, it is often said that a local symmetry in a bulk theory corresponds to a global symmetry in the corresponding boundary theory, but the global symmetry can become local when one couples with an external source. As a…
