This project explores the $D=11$ supergravity model and the properties of its p-brane ansatz. The initial field content (graviton, gravitino and the anti-symmetric tensor field) in the action of $D=11$ supergravity is explained in the…
In this thesis we study two-dimensional supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models with boundaries. We derive the most general family of boundary conditions in the non-supersymmetric case. Next we show that no further conditions arise when…
New forms of Born-Infeld, D-brane and M theory five-brane actions are found which are quadratic in the abelian field strength. The gauge fields couple both to a background or induced metric and a new auxiliary metric, whose elimination…
More evidence is provided for the conjectured correspondence between the D3-brane action in AdS_5 x S^5 and the low-energy effective action for N = 4 SU(N) SYM on its Coulomb branch, where the gauge group SU(N) is spontaneously broken to…
We study the IR dynamics of the type IIB supergravity solution describing N D3-branes and M fractional D3-branes on the resolved conifold. The baryon mass and the tension of domain wall in the dual gauge theory are evaluated and compared…
Lagrangians of the Abelian Gauge Theory and its dual are related in terms of a shifted action. We show that in d=4 constrained Hamiltonian formulation of the shifted action yields Hamiltonian description of the dual theory, without…
We consider the deformations of a supersymmetric quantum field theory by adding spacetime-dependent terms to the action. We propose to describe the renormalization of such deformations in terms of some cohomological invariants, a class of…

Recently, a practical approach to holographic renormalization has been developed based on the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation. Using a simple Einstein-scalar theory, we clarify that this approach does not conflict with the Hamiltonian…
We consider the most general AdS$_3$ solutions of type IIB supergravity admitting a dynamical SU$(3)$ structure and preserving $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry. The analysis is broken into three distinct classes depending on whether the…
We demonstrate a systematic method for solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for general relativity with the inclusion of matter fields. The generating functional is expanded in a series of spatial gradients. Each term is manifestly…
AdS/CFT predicts that the value of the on-shell action for type IIB Supergravity (SUGRA) on $AdS_5 \times S^5$ background must be a non-zero number completely determined from the boundary theory. We examine this statement within Sen's…
We find AdS soliton solutions in 5-dimensional gauged supergravity, obtained from the $S^5$ compactification of type IIB, with a dilaton saturating the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. The solutions depend on the value of the periodicity of an…
A superspace formulation of IIB supergravity which includes the field strengths of the duals of the usual physical one, three and five-form field strengths as well as the eleven-form field strength is given. The superembedding formalism is…
The braneworld scenario is studied and the effective action of 3-brane living in 5-dim. Minkowski space is constructed. This action is proved to be invariant under spontaneously broken scale and Weyl symmetries and to encode a model of…
We study the relation between the ADHM construction of instantons in the Omega-background and the fractional D3/D(-1)-branes at the orbifold singularity of C \times C^2/Z_2 in Ramond-Ramond (R-R) 3-form field strength background. We…
We present the asymptotically AdS solutions of the Einstein gravity with hyperbolic horizons in the presence of $So(n(n-1)/2-1, 1)$ Yang-Mills fields governed by the non-Abelian Born-Infeld lagrangian. We investigate the properties of these…
