Relation between semiclassical analyses of Green-Schwarz and pure spinor formalisms in an AdS_5 x S^5 background is clarified. It is shown that the two formalisms have identical semiclassical partition functions for a simple family of…
We begin to develop the formalism of localization for the functional integral of supergravity on $AdS_3 \times S^2$. We show how the condition of supersymmetry in the Euclidean $\mathbb{H}^3/\mathbb{Z} \times S^2$ geometry naturally leads…
We discuss a localization formula for certain integrals on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundaries, equipped with a Killing vector, and employ this to localize the regularised on-shell action of a large class of supersymmetric solutions…
A systematic approach to the study of semiclassical fluctuations of strings in AdS_5 x S^5 based on the Green-Schwarz formalism is developed. We show that the string partition function is well defined and finite. Issues related to different…
We first present a short review of general supersymmetric compactifications in string and M-theory using the language of G-structures and intrinsic torsion. We then summarize recent work on the generic conditions for supersymmetric AdS_5…
The the duality between ${\cal N}=4$ SYM and the AdS$_5\times\;$S$^5$ superstring appears to enjoy quantum integrability in the planar limit, which allowed to devise powerful methods ostensibly solving the spectral problem. However,…
We find classical closed string solutions to the non-relativistic AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ string theory which are the analogue of the BMN and GKP solutions for the relativistic theory. We show that non-relativistic AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ string…
We demonstrate the equivalence between the worldsheet one-loop partition functions computed near classical string solutions in the Green-Schwarz and in the pure-spinor formulations of superstrings in AdS(5) x S(5). While their bosonic…
We study the boundary limit of the bulk isometries of AdS x S. The superconformal symmetry is realized on the coordinates of the AdS boundary, the fermionic superspace coordinates, and the harmonics on the sphere. We show how these may be…
We discuss some new simple closed bosonic string solutions in AdS_5 x S^5 that may be of interest in the context of AdS/CFT duality. In the first part of this work we consider solutions with two spins (S_1, S_2) in AdS_5. Starting from the…
We derive the Green-Schwarz action on AdS_5 x S^5 using an alternate version of the coset superspace construction. By Wick rotations and Lie algebra identifications we bring the coset to GL(4|4)/(Sp(4) x GL(1))^2, which allows us to…
In this paper, using equivariant localization for foliations, we compute the on-shell action of a general class of supersymmetric solutions of five-dimensional gauged supergravity with vector multiplets. Unlike previous literature, we also…
We study supersymmetric $AdS_3\times \Sigma_2$ and $AdS_2\times \Sigma_3$ solutions, with $\Sigma_2=S^2,H^2$ and $\Sigma_3=S^3,H^3$, in five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets. The gauge groups…
We present non-extremal magnetic black string solutions in five-dimensional gauged supergravity. The conformal infinity is the product of time and S^1xS_h, where S_h denotes a compact Riemann surface of genus h. The construction is based on…
We analyze the psu(2,2|4) supersymmetry algebra of a superstring propagating in the AdS_5 x S^5 background in the uniform light-cone gauge. We consider the off-shell theory by relaxing the level-matching condition and take the limit of…
We construct a one-parameter family of flat currents in AdS_5 x S^1 and AdS_3 x S^3 Green-Schwarz superstrings, which would naturally lead to a hierarchy of classical conserved nonlocal charges. In the former case we rewrite the AdS_5 x S^1…
In this paper we study the pure spinor formulation of the superstring in $AdS_5\times S^5$ around point particle solutions of the classical equations of motion. As a particular example we quantize the pure spinor string in the BMN…
We find a large class of new supersymmetric $AdS_5$ black strings from five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets with $SO(2)_D\times SO(3)\times SO(3)$ gauge group. These solutions have near horizon…
Attempts to solve Yang-Mills theory must eventually face the problem of analyzing the theory at intermediate values of the coupling constant. In this regime neither perturbation theory nor the gravity dual are adequate, and one must…
We consider the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring theory on AdS(2)xS(2)xT(6) supported by homogeneous Ramond-Ramond 5-form flux and its type IIA T-duals. One motivation is to understand the solution of this theory based on integrability.…
