We present a map between the excitation of the symmetric-product orbifold CFT of $T^4$, and of the worldsheet-integrability description of $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ of Lloyd, Ohlsson Sax, Sfondrini, and Stefa\'nski at $k=1$. We discuss…
The symmetric orbifold of $\mathbb{T}^4$ is exactly dual to string theory on $\mathrm{AdS}_3\times \mathrm{S}^3 \times \mathbb{T}^4$ with minimal ($k=1$) NS-NS flux. In this paper we study the perturbation of the symmetric orbifold that is…
The perturbation of the symmetric orbifold of $\mathbb{T}^4$ under the triplet of exactly marginal operators from the $2$-cycle twisted sector is studied in perturbation theory. We show that the structure of the triplet perturbation is very…
The symmetric orbifold of $\mathbb{T}^4$ is the analogue of free SYM in four dimensions, and its dual is described by a tensionless string propagating in ${\rm AdS}_3\times {\rm S}^3 \times \mathbb{T}^4$. In this paper we study the…
In this paper we study exactly marginal deformations of field theories living on D3-branes at low energies. These theories include N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and theories obtained from it via the orbifolding procedure. We restrict…
We construct generalized symmetries in two-dimensional symmetric product orbifold CFTs $\text{Sym}^N(\mathcal{T}),$ for a generic seed CFT $\mathcal{T}$. These symmetries are more general than the universal and maximally symmetric ones…
Symmetric product orbifolds, i.e. permutation orbifolds of the full symmetric group S_{n} are considered by applying the general techniques of permutation orbifolds. Generating functions for various quantities, e.g. the torus partition…
Symmetric product orbifold theories are valuable due to their universal features at large $N$. Here we will demonstrate that they have features that are not as pervasive: we provide evidence of strange behaviour under deformations within…
We calculate the non-planar corrections to the anomalous dimensions of certain quarter BPS states in the symmetric product orbifold $\text{Sym}^N \big({\mathbb{T}^4}\big)$. We find that some of the degeneracies in the spectrum for large…
In this thesis exactly marginal deformations of field theories living on D3-branes at low energies are studied. These theories include N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and theories obtained from it via the orbifolding procedure.
That the exact quantum S-matrix of $\text{T}\bar{\text{T}}$-deformed field theories is known has interesting consequences for their perturbative renormalisation. Recent investigations into the interplay between renormalisation and…
We perform conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators to first order. A suitable renormalization method is needed that makes the conformal invariance of the deformed correlation functions manifest. Combining the embedding space…
We investigate how the marginal deformations of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (analysed in particular by Leigh and Strassler) arise within B-model topological string theory on supertwistor space CP(3|4). This is achieved by turning…
We derive various properties of symmetric product orbifolds of $T\bar{T}$ and $J\bar{T}$ - deformed CFTs from a field-theoretical perspective. First, we generalise the known formula for the torus partition function of a symmetric orbifold…
Recently, the anomalous conformal dimensions of the symmetric orbifold under the $2$-cycle twisted sector deformation were calculated using the perturbed action of the supercharges. In particular, explicit and simple formulae for the…
We construct a nonperturbative regularization for Euclidean noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with four (N= (2,2)), eight (N= (4,4)) and sixteen (N= (8,8)) supercharges in two dimensions. The construction relies on orbifolds…
In this work, we study the proposed duality between superstring on AdS$_3\times$S$^3\times\mathbb{T}^4$ with pure NS-NS flux and a deformed symmetric orbifold CFT. We extract the residues of 3-point string correlators at their…
Using holography, we study non-perturbative effects in M-theory on orientifolds from the analysis of the S^3 partition functions of dual field theories. We consider the S^3 partition functions of N=4 Yang-Mills theory with O(n) gauge…
We describe discrete symmetries of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $G$ associated to outer automorphisms of $G$, and their corresponding defects. We show that the gauge theory partition function with defects can be…
We determine the one-loop deformation of the conformal symmetry of a general N}=2 superconformally invariant Yang-Mills theory. The deformation is computed for several explicit examples which have a realization as world-volume theories on a…
