This thesis is mainly devoted to studying integrable deformations of the ${\rm AdS}_5 \times {\rm S}^5$ superstring and generalized supergravity. We start to give a brief review of the ${\rm AdS}_5 \times {\rm S}^5$ superstring formulated…

Recently, Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena proposed that the N=6 Chern-Simons gauge theories are holographically dual to the M-theory backgrounds with multiple M2-branes on orbifolds C^4/Z_k. When k is large, they have the type IIA…

Using an elementary perturbative open string field theory solution involving a twistor-like parameter, we study the cohomology of new nilpotent BRST charge corresponding to the space-time background defined by this solution. The BRST…

We provide the first supersymmetric embedding of an integrable $\lambda$-deformation to type-II supergravity. Specifically, that of the near horizon of the NS1-NS5 brane intersection, geometrically corresponding to $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times…

For supercosets with isometry group of the form $\hat{G} \times \hat{G}$, the eta-deformation can be generalised to a two-parameter integrable deformation with independent $q$-deformations of the two copies. We study its kappa-symmetry and…

By using the hybrid formalism, superstrings in four-dimensional NS-NS plane waves are studied in a manifest supersymmetric manner. This description of the superstring is obtained by a field redefinition of the RNS worldsheet fields and…

We find out a PP-wave spacetime with constant Neveu-Schwarz (NS) three form flux by taking a Penrose limit on the 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory. We further find out an…

We investigate a new class of $\eta$-deformed $AdS_5 \times T^{1,1}$ backgrounds produced by $r$-matrices that satisfy the modified classical Yang-Baxter equation [Jour. High Ener. Phys. 03 (2022) 094]. We examine the classical phase space…

We discuss how to take a Penrose limit in bubbling 1/2 BPS geometries at the stage of a single function z(x_1,x_2,y). By starting from the z of the AdS_5 x S^5 we can directly derive that of the pp-wave via the Penrose limit. In that time…

We construct light-cone gauge superstring field theory in a pp-wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The leading term in the interaction Hamiltonian is determined up to an overall function of $p^+$ by requiring closure of the pp-wave…

The non-standard intersection of two 5-branes and a string can give rise to AdS_3\times S^3\times S^3\times S^1. We consider the Penrose limit of this geometry and study the supersymmetry of the resulting pp-wave solution. There is a…

We combine new analysis of the stochastic gravitational wave background to be expected from cosmic strings with the latest pulsar timing array (PTA) limits to give an upper bound on the energy scale of the possible cosmic string network,…

We extend the proposal of Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase to Type IIB superstring propagating on pp-wave over ${\bf R}^4/{\bf Z}_k$ orbifold. We show that first-quantized free string theory is described correctly by the large $N$, fixed…

We study a modified bosonic string theory that has a pressureless ``dust'' field on the string worldsheet. The dust is a real scalar field with unit gradient which breaks conformal invariance. Hamiltonian analysis reveals a time…
