The multidimensional gravity on the principal bundle with the SU(2) gauge group is considered. The numerical investigation of the spherically symmetric metrics with the center of symmetry is made. The solution of the gravitational equations…
We study the Weak Gravity Conjecture in the presence of scalar fields. The Weak Gravity Conjecture is a consistency condition for a theory of quantum gravity asserting that for a U(1) gauge field, there is a particle charged under this…
The gauge redundancy of quantum gravity makes the definition of local operators ambiguous, as they depend on the choice of gauge or on a `gravitational dressing' analogous to a choice of Wilson line attachments. Recent work identified exact…
We note that the non-perturbative quantisation of supergravity as recently investigated using loop quantum gravity techniques provides an opportunity to probe an interesting sector of the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is usually not…
The topological non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory with a boundary is shown to require a scalar field companion in order to preserve overall gauge-invariance both in the 3 dimensional manifold, as well as on its boundary. This scalar field,…
We investigate superfluidity of the relativistic fermi-gas with gravitational interaction. The excitation spectrum is obtained within the linearized theory. While superfluidity may take place at a definite ratio of the Fermi momentum, rest…
Bulk-boundary correspondence is the emergence of features at the boundary of a material that are dependent on and yet distinct from the properties of the bulk of the material. The diverse applications of this idea in topological insulators…
The classical theory of non-relativistic charged particle interacting with U(1) gauge field is reformulated as the Schr\"odinger wave equation modified by the de-Broglie-Bohm quantum potential nonlinearity. For, (1 - $\hbar^2$) deformed…
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the conductivity of massive N=2 hypermultiplet fields at finite baryon number density in an N=4 SU(N_c) super-Yang-Mills theory plasma in the large N_c, large 't Hooft coupling limit. The finite…
We give an introductory review of gauge/gravity duality, and associated ideas of holography, emphasising the conceptual aspects. The opening Sections gather the ingredients, viz. anti-de Sitter spacetime, conformal field theory and string…
I review the AdS/hydrodynamics correspondence, which provides a 1-1 map between large wavelength features of AdS black branes and conformal fluid flows. In this thesis I consider boundaries between nonrelativistic flows, applying the usual…
In this study, we demonstrate that an inviscid fluid in a near-equilibrium state, when viewed in the Lagrangian picture in d+1 spacetime dimensions, can be reformulated as a (d-1)-form gauge theory. We construct a fluid/p-form dictionary…
We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…
The original ideas about noncommuting coordinates are recalled. The connection between U(1) gauge fields defined on noncommuting coordinates and fluid mechanics is explained.
We explore the relation between positivity of the energy constraints in conformal field theories and causality in their dual gravity description. Our discussion involves CFTs with different central charges whose description, in the gravity…
We consider $AdS_3$ $N$-extended Chern-Simons supergravity (\`a la Achucarro-Tonswend) and we study its gauge symmetries. We promote those gauge symmetries to a BRST symmetry and we perform its quantization by choosing suitable…
The standard formulation of the AdS/CFT correspondence is incomplete since it requires adding to a supergravity action some a priori unknown boundary terms. We suggest a modification of the correspondence principle based on the Hamiltonian…

In AdS, scalar fields with masses slightly above the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound admit a variety of possible boundary conditions which are reflected in the Lagrangian of the dual field theory. Generic small changes in the AdS boundary…
