A one-parameter family of new solutions representing Einstein spaces in $d=5,7$ is presented, and used to construct non-supersymmetric backgrounds in type IIB and M-theory that asymptotically approach $AdS_5\times S^5$ and $AdS_7\times S^4$…
We construct an action for non-abelian 2-form in 6-dimensions. Our action consists of a non-abelian generalization of the abelian action of Perry and Schwarz for a single five-brane. It admits a self-duality equation on the field strength…
We provide a complete proof that non-abelian fermionic T-duality along a non-anticommuting Killing spinor always generates a solution to double field theory equations. Examples of non-abelian fermionic T-dualities of string backgrounds with…
We review and extend recent work on the application of the non-commutative geometric framework to an interpretation of the moduli space of vacua of certain deformations of N=4 super Yang-Mills theories. We present a simple worldsheet…
In this work we obtain topological and dual theories on brane-worlds in several dimensions. Our brane is a solitonic-like hypersurface embedded in a space-time with a specific dimensionality and it appears due to the breaking of a…
We discuss dual formulations of D-brane intersections. The duality is between world volume field theories of different dimensionalities which both describe the same D-brane configuration but are valid in complementary regions of parameter…
We perform various lattice numerical analyses with the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) defined through the gradient flow. We explore the spatial distribution of the stress tensor in static quark-anti-quark systems and thermodynamic quantities…
We consider an abelian T-duality on a deformation of the gravitational solution of \cite{Maldacena2001}, which is the gravity dual of $N_c$ D5-branes wrapping a three-cycle inside a manifold that admits a $G_2$ structure. Performing the…
We explore some of the global aspects of duality transformations in String Theory and Field Theory. We analyze in some detail the equivalence of dual models corresponding to different topologies at the level of the partition function and in…
We analyse D-branes on orbifolds with discrete torsion, extending earlier results. We analyze certain Abelian orbifolds of the type C^3/ \Gamma, where \Gamma is given by Z_m x Z_n, for the most general choice of discrete torsion parameter.…
The presence of non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetries in four-dimensional F-theory compactifications is investigated. Such symmetries are shown to arise from seven-brane configurations in genuine F-theory settings without a weak string…
We study the spectra of scalar and vector mesons in four dimensional strongly coupled SQCD-like theories in the Veneziano limit. The gauge theories describe the low energy dynamics of intersecting D3 and D7-branes on the singular and…
Several recent works on quantum criticality beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm have led to a number of field theories, potentially important for certain two-dimensional magnetic insulating systems, where criticality is not very well…
A global analysis of duality transformations is presented. It is shown that duality between quantum field theories exists only when the geometrical structure of the quantum configuration spaces of the theories comply with certain precise…
Over a decade before the modern formulation of AdS/CFT duality, Duff et al. had observed a candidate microscopic explanation by identifying the CFT fields with fluctuations of probe p-branes stretched out in parallel near the horizon of…
We study various perturbations and their holographic interpretation for non-Abelian T-dual of $ AdS_5 \times S^5 $ where the T-duality is applied along the $ SU(2) $ of $ AdS_5 $. This paper focuses on two types of perturbations, namely the…
In this article we establish the relationship between fermionic T-duality and momenta noncommuativity. This is extension of known relation between bosonic T-duality and coordinate noncommutativity. The case of open string propagating in…
A non-abelian generalisation of a theory of gravity coupled to a 2-form gauge field and a dilaton is found, in which the metric and 3-form field strength are Lie algebra-valued. In the abelian limit, the curvature with torsion is self-dual…
String theory has the T-duality symmetry when the target space has Abelian isometries. A generalization of the T-duality, where the isometry group is non-Abelian, is known as the non-Abelian T-duality, which works well as a…
These pedagogical lectures given at the Corfu Summer Institute 2018 review two generalised notions of T-duality, non-Abelian T-duality and Poisson-Lie duality, and their applications. We explain how each of these has seen recent application…
