We consider noncommutative {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. Using the {\cal N}=1 superfield formalism and the background field method we compute one-loop four point contributions to the effective action and compare the…
There are an infinite number of type IIB superstrings in ten dimensions, called (p,q) strings, that are labeled by two distinct string charges. They can form string junctions and string networks. These are the key to understanding the…
We present the result of a full direct component calculation for the planar four-loop anomalous dimension of the Konishi operator in N =4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Our result confirms the results obtained from superfield…
Using the algebraic curve approach we one-loop quantize the folded string solution for the type IIB superstring in AdS(5)xS(5). We obtain an explicit result valid for arbitrary values of its Lorentz spin S and R-charge J in terms of…
Kaluza-Klein compactifications of higher dimensional Yang-Mills theories contain a number of four dimensional scalars corresponding to the internal components of the gauge field. While at tree-level the scalar zero modes are massless, it is…
Strings in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric ${\rm U}(1)^N$ gauge theories with $N$ hypermultiplets are studied in the generic setting of an arbitrary Fayet-Iliopoulos triplet of parameters for each gauge group and an invertible charge matrix.…
Using constraints from supersymmetry and string perturbation theory, we determine the string loop corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space of type II strings compactified on a generic Calabi-Yau threefold. The corresponding…
Type IIB string theory on AdS$_3 \times S^3\times T^4$ with RR flux as the near-horizon limit of the D1-D5 solution is expected to be dual to a (4,4) supersymmetric 2d CFT parametrized by the integers $Q_1,Q_5$ and other moduli. It is…
We discuss the problem of noncommutative SO(N) gauge field theories from the string one-loop point of view. To this end we propose an expression for the string propagator on the boundary of the Moebius strip in the presence of a constant B…
We study the field theory limit of multi-loop (super)string amplitudes, with the aim of clarifying their relationship to Feynman diagrams describing the dynamics of the massless states. We propose an explicit map between string moduli…
We compare quantum corrections to semiclassical spinning strings in AdS(5)xS(5) to one-loop anomalous dimensions in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory. The latter are computed using the reduced (Landau-Lifshitz) sigma model and with the help…
The color flux tube connecting a static quark-anti-quark pair in Yang-Mills theory supports massless transverse fluctuations, which are the Goldstone bosons of spontaneously broken translation invariance. Just as in chiral perturbation…
We briefly review the status quo of the application of integrable systems techniques to the AdS/CFT correspondence in the large charge approximation, a rapidly evolving topic. Intricate string and gauge computations of, respectively,…
In a certain kinematic limit, where the effects of spacetime curvature (and other background fields) greatly simplify, the light-cone gauge world-sheet action for a type IIB superstring on AdS_5 x S^5 reduces to that of a free field theory.…
The explicit one-loop renormalizability of pure Yang-Mills theory with Lorentz violation is demonstrated. The result is consistent with multiplicative renormalization as the required counter terms are consistent with a single re-scaling of…
Infrared regularized versions of 4-D N=1 superstring ground states are constructed by curving the spacetime. A similar regularization can be performed in field theory. For the IR regularized string ground states we derive the exact one-loop…
In this paper we calculate three-string interaction from light cone string field theory in pp-wave. We find exact agreements with the free planar three point functions of non-chiral BMN operators of ${\cal N} = 4$ super Yang Mills. The…
We consider non-planar contributions to the correlation functions of BMN operators in free N = 4 super Yang Mills theory. We recalculate these non-planar contributions from a different kind of diagram and find some exact agreements. The…
It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupled open string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theory is fully…
We study the large N (planar) limit of pure SU(N) 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory (YM_{2+1}) using a gauge-invariant matrix parameterization introduced by Karabali and Nair. This formulation crucially relies on the properties of local…
