The D theory is a $\mathcal{N}=2$ conformal SYM theory in four dimensions with gauge group SU($N$), four matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental and two in the anti-symmetric representation, and a flavor symmetry that contains a U(4)…
This paper seeks to explore the holographic optical appearance of an AdS black hole with higher derivative corrections in the presence of a string cloud, drawing on the AdS/CFT correspondence and wave optics. We introduce a Gaussian wave…
We consider a geometric zero-radius limit for strings on $AdS_5\times S^5$, where the anti-de Sitter hyperboloid becomes the projective lightcone. In this limit the fifth dimension becomes nondynamical, yielding a different "holographic"…
Matrix theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence provide nonperturbative holographic formulations of string theory. In both cases the finite N theories can be thought of as infrared regulated versions of flat space string theory in which…

We review the holographic duals of gauge theories with eight supercharges obtained by adding very few flavors to pure supersymmetric Yang-Mills with sixteen supercharges. Assuming a brane-probe limit, the gravity duals are engineered in…
We describe a class of six-dimensional conformal field theories that have some properties in common with and possibly are related to a subsector of the tensionless string theories. The latter theories can for example give rise to…
