The AdS/CFT correspondence in principle gives a new approach to deep inelastic scattering as formulated by Polchinski and Strassler. Subsequently Brower, Polchinski, Strassler and Tan (BPST) computed the strong coupling kernel for the…
We study the scattering of low-energy tensor multiplet particles against a BPS saturated cosmic string. We show that the corresponding S-matrix is largely determined by symmetry considerations. We then apply a specific supersymmetric model…
We attempt to understand the fate of spacelike gravitational singularities in string theory via the quantum stress tensor for string matter in a fixed background. We first approximate the singularity with a homogeneous anisotropic…
String dynamics in a curved space-time is studied on the basis of an action functional including a small parameter of rescaled tension $\epsilon=\gamma/\alpha^{\prime}$, where $\gamma$ is a metric parametrizing constant. A rescaled slow…
In this paper we establish a connection between segmented strings propagating in $AdS_{d+1}$ and $CFT_d$ subsystems in Minkowski spacetime characterized by quantum information theoretic quantities calculated for the vacuum state. We show…
It is experimentally observed that the width of the KNO multiplicity distribution --or the negative binomial parameter 1/k-- for pp collisions, in the energy region 10 to 1800 GeV, is an increasing function of the energy. We argue that in…
We construct a new model of four-dimensional relativistic strings with integrable dynamics on the worldsheet. In addition to translational modes this model contains a single massless pseudoscalar worldsheet field - the worldsheet axion. The…
In this thesis we present some computations made in both sides of the AdS/CFT holographic correspondence using the integrability of both theories. Regarding the string theory side, this thesis is focused in the computation of the dispersion…
The strong version of Maldacena's AdS/CFT conjecture implies that the large N expansion of free N=4 super-YM theory describes an interacting string theory in the extreme limit of high spacetime curvature relative to the string length.…
We study the emergence of partonic behavior in scattering processes at large Mandelstam's variable $s$ from string amplitudes in holographic backgrounds. We generalize the approach of Polchinski and Strassler (2001) in two ways. (i) We…
We show how the string amplitude $\Phi(z)$ defined on the fifth dimension in AdS$_5$ space can be precisely mapped to the light-front wavefunctions of hadrons in physical spacetime. We find an exact correspondence between the holographic…
Bundles of strings which interact via short-ranged pair potentials are studied in two dimensions. The corresponding transfer matrix problem is solved analytically for arbitrary string number N by Bethe ansatz methods. Bundles consisting of…
We study the stability of superconducting strings in a U(1)_{local} x U(1)_{global} model coupled via a gauge field interaction term to U(1) Abelian-Higgs strings. The effect of the interaction on current stability is numerically…
The Frenet equation governs the extrinsic geometry of a string in three-dimensional ambient space in terms of the curvature and torsion, which are both scalar functions under string reparameterisations. The description engages a local SO(2)…
Recently, an asymptotic Bethe Ansatz that is claimed to describe anomalous dimensions of "long" operators in the planar N=6 supersymmetric three-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory dual to quantum superstrings in AdS_4 x CP^3 was…
Quantum string, which was brought into discussion recently as a model for the stripe phase in doped cuprates, is simulated by means of the density-matrix-renormalization-group method. String collides with adjacent neighbors, as it wonders,…
We study the AdS/CFT correspondence for string states which flow into plane wave states in the Penrose limit. Leading finite radius corrections to the string spectrum are compared with scaling dimensions of finite R-charge BMN-like…

We propose a one-dimensional model of a string decorated with adhesion molecules (stickers) to mimic multicomponent membranes in restricted geometries. The string is bounded by two parallel walls and it interacts with one of them by short…
