Due to chiral supersymmetry the (nonzero mode) spectral and symmetry properties of a 4-dimensional, self-dual Dirac-Yang-Mills operator $\D$ can be recovered from those of the corresponding scalar Laplacian $D^2$. It is shown that a similar…

Multi-parameter families of $\mathcal{N}=0$ Type IIA and Type IIB AdS$_5$ solutions are presented, promoting to $\mathcal{N}=1$ in some special cases. The G-Structure description of each $\mathcal{N}=1$ solution is given, requiring an…

We extend our previous construction of global solutions to Type IIB supergravity that are invariant under the superalgebra $F(4)$ and are realized on a spacetime of the form $AdS_6 \times S^2$ warped over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ by…

We construct a family of type IIB string backgrounds that are deformations of $\rm AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ with a "squashed" $\rm AdS_3 \times S^3$ metric supported by a combination of NSNS and RR fluxes. They have global $\rm SU(1,1)…

We consider type II superstrings on AdS backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond flux in various dimensions. We realize the backgrounds as supercosets and analyze explicitly two classes of models: non-critical superstrings on AdS_{2d} and critical…

We determine the exact functional determinants of charged, massive spin-0 and spin-$\frac12$ particles in $\text{AdS}_2\times \mathbf{S}^2$ backgrounds threaded by constant electric and magnetic fields. This is achieved using Schwinger…

We consider AdS/CFT correspondence for time-dependent \II B backgrounds in this paper. The supergravity solutions we construct are supersymmetric pp-waves on AdS and may have null singularity in the bulk. The dual gauge theory is also…

We present a new Type IIB supergravity background of the warped form AdS$_4\times \mathcal{M}_6$ with dilaton, $B$-field and all Ramond-Ramond fluxes turned on. We obtain the solution by applying non-Abelian T-duality to a certain…

We review recent progress in the study of S-folds in light of the gauge/gravity duality and the AdS swampland conjecture. S-folds correspond to non-geometric backgrounds of type IIB supergravity of the form $\,\textrm{AdS}_4 \, \times \,…

We discuss Kaluza-Klein theory for type $II\ b $ supergravity on the warped deformed conifold using a large radial distance limit of Klebanov-Strassler solution where the radial coordinate separates from angle coordinates for a background…

We present, for the first time, the complete off-shell $4D, {\cal N}=2$ superfield actions for any free massless integer spin ${\bf s} \geq 2$ fields, using the ${\cal N}=2$ harmonic superspace approach. The relevant gauge supermultiplet is…

We construct large families of supergravity solutions that are asymptotic to AdS$_2$ and terminate with a cap that is singular in two dimensions but smooth in higher dimensions. These solutions break supersymmetry and conformal invariance.…

We find a new family of exact solutions in membrane theory, representing toroidal membranes spinning in several planes. They have energy square proportional to the sum of the different angular momenta, generalizing Regge-type string…

We study the higher-spin gauge theory in six-dimensional anti-de Sitter space $AdS_6$ that is based on the exceptional Lie superalgebra $F(4)$. The relevant higher-spin algebra was constructed in arXiv:1409.2185 [hep-th]. We determine the…

In general quantum systems there are two kinds of spacetime modes, those that fluctuate and those that do not. Fluctuating modes have normalizable wavefunctions. In the context of 2D gravity and ``non-critical'' string theory these are…

We study integrable deformations of AdS/CFT by focusing upon three kinds of warped AdS_3 geometries, 1) space-like warped AdS_3, 2) time-like warped AdS_3 and 3) null warped AdS_3. These geometries are embedded into type IIB supergravity…

We present a proof of the central limit theorem for a pair of mutually non-commuting operators in mixing quantum spin chains. The operators are not necessarily strictly local but quasi-local. As a corollary we obtain a direct construction…

We develop in components the superspace action obtained in arXiv:2110.07623 describing the first massive level of the open charged superstring in a flat four-dimensional spacetime. In the absence of an electromagnetic background, we show…

We study some of the properties of dual giant gravitons - D2-branes wrapped on an $S^{2}\subset AdS_{4}$ - in type IIA string theory on $AdS_{4}\times \mathbb{CP}^{3}$. In particular we confirm that the spectrum of small fluctuations about…

We present a SU(2) gauge theory of fluctuating magnetic order in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. The theory is based on a fractionalization of electrons in fermionic chargons and bosonic spinons. The chargons undergo N\'eel or spiral…
