We study BPS monopoles in 4 dimensional N=4 SO(N) and $Sp(N)$ super Yang-Mills theories realized as the low energy effective theory of $N$ (physical and its mirror) parallel D3 branes and an {\it Orientifold 3 plane} with D1 branes…
We give a complete classification of twists of supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories in dimensions $2\leq n \leq 10$. We formulate supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory classically using the BV formalism, and then we construct an action of the…
The quantization of the non-commutative N=1, U(1) super-Yang-Mills action is performed in the superfield formalism. We calculate the one-loop corrections to the self-energy of the vector superfield. Although the power-counting theorem…

The strongest version of the gauge/gravity duality conjecture relates the 1/N correction in super Yang-Mills theory and the quantum correction in superstring theory. We perform a quantitative test of this conjecture at finite temperature,…

Commutative Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 dimensions exhibit an interesting interplay between geometrical properties and U(N) gauge structures: in the exact expression of a Wilson loop with $n$ windings a non trivial scaling intertwines $n$…

We discuss bosonic and supersymmetric Yang-Mills matrix models with compact semi-simple gauge group. We begin by finding convergence conditions for the partition and correlation functions. Moving on, we specialise to the SU(N) models with…
We study the stability of a special form of D brane embedding which is regarded as a bound state of D$_n$ and anti-D$_n$-brane embedded in a 10D supergravity background which is dual to a confining gauge theory. For D5 branes with $U(1)$…
We construct D=10 supergravity solutions corresponding to type IIB fivebranes wrapping a two-sphere in a Calabi-Yau two-fold. These are related in the IR to the large N limit of pure N=2 SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory. We show that the…

We find the range of parameters for which the open string physics on probe Dq-branes in the near-horizon geometry of Dp-branes decouples from gravity, and is well-approximated by a (q+1)-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs theory on…
New collective coordinates, related to the field at the `center' of the monopoles, are proposed. A systematic computation of the infrared properties of 2+1- and 3+1- dimensional Yang-Mills theory is now possible and is related to solutions…
