We compute some normalized structure constants in the $\eta$-deformed $AdS_5\times S^5$ in the framework of the semiclassical approach. This is done for the cases when the "heavy" string states are finite-size giant magnons carrying one…
In this paper, we investigate the semiclassical strings in AdS(3)XS^2, in which the string configuration of AdS(3) is classified to three cases depending on the parameters. Each of these has a different anomalous dimension proportional to…
A salient feature of String/Gauge duality is an extra 5th dimension. Here we study the effect of confining deformations of AdS5 and compute the spectrum of a string stretched between infinitely massive quarks and compare it with the quantum…
We consider type IIA superstring theory on the background AdS4 x CP3, and the classical solution describing a folded string spinning in AdS4 with angular momentum in CP3. In the 't Hooft limit, it is the gravity dual of twist operators in…
We will discuss some properties of the pure spinor string on the AdS_5 x S_5 background. Using the classical Hamiltonian analysis we will show that the vertex operator for the massless state that is in the cohomology of the BRST charges…
We use the string sigma model action in AdS_5 \times S^5 to reconstruct the open string solution ending on the Wilson loop in S^3\times R parametrized by a geometric angle in S^3 and an angle in flavor space. Under the interchange of the…

We consider pulsating strings in Lunin-Maldacena backgrounds, specifically in deformed Minkowski spacetime and deformed AdS_5xS^5. We find the relation between the energy and the oscillation number of the pulsating string when the…
We determine the off-shell symmetry algebra and representations of Type IIB superstring theory on $AdS_3\times S^3 \times T^4$ with mixed R-R and NS-NS three-form flux. We use these to derive the non-perturbative worldsheet S matrix of…
We study semiclassical string solutions on the 1/2 BPS geometry of type IIB string theory characterized by concentric rings on the boundary plane. We consider both folded rotating strings carrying nonzero R-charge and circular pulsating…

A special embedding of the SU(4) algebra in SU(10), including both spin two and spin three symmetry generators, is constructed. A possible five dimensional action for massless spin two and three fields with cubic interaction is constructed.…
The classical spectral curve for the worldsheet theory of the AdS_5 x S^5 lambda superstring is constructed. The lambda string is interpreted as a regularized, non-abelian T dual of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring with respect to full…
We find the anomalous dimension and the conserved charges of an R-charged string pulsating on AdS_5. The analysis is performed both on the gauge and string side, where we find agreement at the one-loop level. Furthermore, the solution is…
We show that it is possible to build up a consistent model describing a superconducting cosmic string (SCS) endowed with torsion. A full string solution is obtained by matching the internal and the external solutions. We derive the deficit…
The Regge trajectories, upon which string theory is based, behave as rigid rotators rather than vibrating strings. The same relation, between the angular momentum, and the square of the mass, can be found in gravity, the electroweak, and…
The equations of motion and boundary conditions for the fluctuations around a classical open string, in a curved space-time with torsion, are considered in compact and world-sheet covariant form. The rigidly rotating open strings in Anti de…
String theory on ${\rm AdS}_3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^1$ with pure NS-NS flux and minimal flux through one of the two ${\rm S}^3$'s is studied from a world-sheet perspective. It is shown that the spacetime spectrum,…
In view of one day proving the AdS/CFT correspondence, a deeper understanding of string theory on certain curved backgrounds such as AdS_5xS^5 is required. In this dissertation we make a step in this direction by focusing on RxS^3. It was…
Quantum non-local charges are central to the quantum integrability of a sigma-model. In this paper we study the quantum consistency and UV finiteness of non-local charges of string theory in AdS(5)xS(5). We use the pure spinor formalism. We…
