Exponential regularization of orthogonal and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is presented based on noncommutative geometry. We show that an adequately adopted noncommutative deformation of geometry makes the holography of higher dimensional…

We propose a new example of the AdS/CFT correspondence between the system of multiple giant gravitons in AdS${}_5 \times {}$S${}^5$ and the operators with $O(N_c)$ dimensions in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. We first extend the mixing of…

We construct new 1/2 supersymmetric solutions in D=3, N=2, matter coupled, U(1) gauged supergravities and study some of their properties. In the most general case they represent a string superposed with gravitational and Chern-Simons…

The correspondence between classical extra dimensional geometry and quantum behavior, typical of the AdS/CFT, has a heuristic semiclassical interpretation in terms of undulatory mechanics and relativistic geometrodynamics. We note, in fact,…

Supersymmetric rotating 1/16-BPS black holes in $AdS_4 \times S^7$ are expected to capture the average degeneracy of BPS states in the dual ABJM superconformal theory for given fixed charges. This has been successfully demonstrated for the…

We consider N=2 superconformal theories defined on a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane intersection of two sets of M5 branes. These theories have (tensionless) BPS string solitons. We use a dual supergravity formulation to deduce some of their…

Continuing the development of the ZSM-Newton/Coulomb approach to semiclassical Newtonian gravity/electrodynamics [1], we formulate a ZSM-Newton/Coulomb version of the large N approximation scheme proposed by Oriols et al. [2]. We show that…

In these lecture notes we first assemble the basic ingredients of supersymmetric gauge theories (particularly N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory), supergravity, and superstring theory. Brane solutions are surveyed. The geometry and symmetries of…

Using Mikhailov's map from holomorphic functions to supersymmetric D3-brane solutions, we show how to construct giant gravitons in AdS5 x S5 with toroidal topologies. In the 1/4-BPS sector we show that these are always of the form #^K (S2 x…

We study quantum corrections in the gravitational path integral around nearly $1/16$-BPS black holes in asymptotically $AdS_5 \times S^5$ space, dual to heavy states in 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. The analysis provides a…

The large N dynamics of a subsector of d=0 interacting complex multi matrix systems, which is naturally parametrized by a matrix valued radial coordinate, and which embodies the canonical AdS/CFT relationship between 't Hooft's coupling…

We examine a class of gravity backgrounds obtained by considering the backreaction of a spatially uniform density of mutually BPS Wilson lines or heavy quarks in N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills theory. The configurations preserve eight supercharges and…

In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence we discuss the gravity dual of a high energy collision in a strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ SYM gauge theory. We suggest a setting in which two colliding objects are made of non-dynamical heavy…

We find the combinations of momentum and domain-wall charges corresponding to BPS states preserving 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of D=4 N=1 supersymmetry, and we show how the supersymmetry algebra implies their stability. These states form the boundary…

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we address the question of how to measure complicated space-time metrics using gauge theory probes. In particular, we consider the case of the 1/2 BPS geometries of type IIB supergravity. These geometries…

We construct the general 1/2 BPS M2 giant graviton solutions asymptotic to the eleven-dimensional maximally supersymmetric plane wave background, based on the recent work of Lin, Lunin and Maldacena. The solutions have null singularity and…

Mikhailov has constructed an infinite family of 1/8 BPS D3-branes in AdS(5) x S**5. We regulate Mikhailov's solution space by focussing on finite dimensional submanifolds. Our submanifolds are topologically complex projective spaces with…

Eighth-BPS local operators in N=4 SYM are dual to quantum states arising from the quantization of a moduli space of giant gravitons in AdS5xS5. Earlier results on the quantization of this moduli space give a Hilbert space of multiple…
