We give a brief expository discussion on the holographic correspondence of correlation functions in the large J limit of AdS/CFT conjecture. We first review our proposals on the interpretation of the so-called GKPW relation in the large J…
We consider the ratio of the correlation function of an hexagon light-like Wilson loop with one local operator over the expectation value of the Wilson loop within the strong-coupling regime of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We choose the…
We study correlation functions of local operator insertions on the 1/2-BPS Wilson line in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. These correlation functions are constrained by the 1d superconformal symmetry preserved by the 1/2-BPS Wilson…
We illustrate the power and efficiency of a recently uncovered Mellin-space approach to AdS/CFT correlation functions by providing a universal formula for the 4-scalar graviton-exchange Witten diagram, for arbitrary CFT-dual scaling…
In the planar limit of QCD meson correlation functions can be written as a path-integral for a spin-half particle with each path being weighted by the expectation value of the corresponding Super Wilson Loop. An important quantity in this…
We apply the AdS/CFT correspondence to derive expressions for the scattering amplitudes at high energy for gauge theories at strong coupling. A method is proposed based on the computation of correlators of Wilson loop operators by their…
We describe new solutions for open string moving in AdS_5 and ending in the boundary, namely dual to Wilson loops in N=4 SYM theory. First we introduce an ansatz for Euclidean curves whose shape contains an arbitrary function. They are BPS…
In this letter we examine some structural aspects of the AdS/CFT such as the way of obtaining the expectation value of product of operators of the CFT, and ideas that should be considered when a proof of AdS/CFT is under consideration.
By taking the interacting spinor-scalar theory on the $AdS_{d+1}$ space we calculate the boundary CFT correlation functions using AdS/CFT correspondence.
We obtain concise analytic formulae for Wilson loops computed on special n-point polygonal contours through two-loops in weakly coupled N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory. The contours we consider can be embedded into a (1+1)-dimensional…
We present a detailed analysis of a scalar conformal four-point function obtained from AdS/CFT correspondence. We study the scalar exchange graphs in AdS and discuss their analytic properties. Using methods of conformal partial wave…
This is an introduction to the Maldacena conjecture on the equivalence between ${\cal{N}}=4$ super Yang-Mills in Minkowski space-time and type IIB string theory compactified on $AdS_5 \otimes S_5 $.
We study the holographic dual string configuration of 1/2 BPS circular Wilson loops in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory by using the global coordinate of AdS. The dual string worldsheet is given by the Poincare disk AdS_2 sitting at a constant…
We study the relation between 5D super Yang-Mills theory and the holographic description of 6D (2,0) superconformal theory. We start by clarifying some issues related to the localization of N=1 SYM with matter on $S^5$. We concentrate on…
In the context of AdS/CFT we provide analytical support for the proposed duality between a Wilson loop with a cusp, the cusp anomalous dimension, and the meson model constructed from a rotating open string with high angular momentum. This…
The AdS/CFT correspondence between string theory in AdS space and conformal field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semi-classical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance and dimensional counting at…
We develop a formalism to evaluate generic scalar exchange diagrams in AdS_{d+1} relevant for the calculation of four-point functions in AdS/CFT correspondence. The result may be written as an infinite power series of functions of…
We use light-like Wilson loops and the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the anomalous dimensions of twist two operators in the cascading (Klebanov-Strassler) theory. The computation amounts to find a minimal surface in the UV region of the…
In this article, we further explore the construction and computation of expectation values for Wilson loops in higher-rank 5d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ gauge theories on $\mathbb{C}_2 \times S_1$, by explicitly computing the Wilson loops via…
We consider the correlator <W_n O(x)> of a light-like polygonal Wilson loop with n cusps with a local operator (like the dilaton or the chiral primary scalar) in planar N =4 super Yang-Mills theory. As a consequence of conformal symmetry,…
