Type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold, with a singularity modeled by a hypersurface in an orbifold, is considered. In the limit of vanishing string coupling, one expects a non gravitational theory concentrated at the…

Self-dual theories, being UV-finite, should have their own AdS/CFT dualities. Higher-spin extensions of self-dual theories are attractive to simplify the CFT duals. The maximal self-dual theory is Chiral higher-spin gravity, which should be…

We systematically classify all supersymmetry-preserving mass deformations of SYM matrix models in all dimensions (D = 3, 4, 6, 10). In D = 10, the polarized IKKT model emerges as the only possible deformation. In D = 4, we identify two…

In this paper, we compute the exact form of the bulk geometry emerging from a $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theory using the holographic principle. We first consider the $(2+1)$-dimensional asymptotic $AdS$ metric in Poincare…

We study confinement in 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ Super-Yang Mills (SYM) from a holographic point of view, focusing on the 1-form symmetry and its relation to chiral symmetry breaking. In the 5d supergravity dual, obtained by truncation of…

In this note a lately proposed gravity dual of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is derived from the relations, recently suggested by Seiberg and Witten, between closed string moduli and open string moduli. The only new input one needs is a…

We explore anisotropic holographic superfluidity and find analytic solutions near critical point where superfluid/normalfluid phase transition appears in a holographic dual fluid system. In arXiv:hep-th/1109.4592, the authors obtained such…

We construct supersymmetric AdS_3 solutions in F-theory, that is Type IIB supergravity with varying axio-dilaton, which are holographically dual to 2d N=(0,4) superconformal field theories with small superconformal algebra. In F-theory…

The recent proposal on the correspondence between the ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory and string theory in the Penrose limit of the AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ geometry involves a few puzzles from the viewpoint of holographic principle,…

Holography for UV-incomplete gauge theories is important but poorly understood. A paradigmatic example is $d=4$, $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills coupled to $N_f$ quark flavors, which possesses a Landau pole at a UV scale $\Lambda_{LP}$.…

We derive the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for a class of BPS black holes in the massive type IIA supergravity background AdS$_4 \times S^6$ from a microscopic counting of supersymmetric ground states in a holographically dual field theory.…

Multi-parametric families of AdS$_{4}$ vacua with various amounts of supersymmetry and residual gauge symmetry are found in the $\,[\textrm{SO}(1,1) \times \textrm{SO}(6)] \ltimes \mathbb{R}^{12}\,$ maximal supergravity that arises from the…

We present three different Type IIB AdS$_4$ Supergravity solutions, derived using the electrostatic-like problem formalism which preserves 8 Poincar\'{e} Supercharges. Two of these solutions correspond to the Abelian and non-Abelian T-duals…

We present general results on generating $\text{AdS}_2$ solutions to Type II supergravity from $\text{AdS}_3$ solutions via U(1) and SL(2) T-dualities. We focus on a class of Type IIB solutions with small $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry, that…

We generalize the $T\overline{T}$ deformation of CFT$_2$ to higher-dimensional large-$N$ CFTs, and show that in holographic theories, the resulting effective field theory matches semiclassical gravity in AdS with a finite radial cutoff. We…

We study the addition of localised impurities to U(N) Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in (p+1)-dimensions by using the gauge/gravity correspondence. From the gravity side, the impurities are introduced by considering probe D(8-p)-branes…

Large classes of warped AdS$_6$ solutions were constructed recently in Type IIB supergravity, and identified as holographic duals for five-dimensional superconformal field theories realized by $(p,q)$ five-brane webs. We confront…

We study the holographic dual to $c$-extremization for 2d $(0,2)$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that have an AdS$_3$ dual realized in Type IIB with varying axio-dilaton, i.e. F-theory. M/F-duality implies that such AdS$_3$ solutions…
