We set up the BPS equations for a D3-brane moving in AdS_5 \times S^5 which preserves two supercharges and with all bosonic fields turned on in the world-volume theory. By solving these, we find generalizations of Mikhailov giants and…

In this paper we study three point functions of the Type II superstring involving one graviton and two massive states, focusing in particular on the spin-7/2 fermions at the first mass level. Defining a gravitational quadrupole…

Matrix string theory (or more generally U-Duality) requires Super Yang-Mills theory to reflect a stringy degeneracy of BPS short multiplets. These are found as supersymmetric states in the Yang-Mills carrying (fractionated) momentum, or in…

We give a construction of general holomorphic quarter BPS operators in $ \mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at weak coupling with $U(N)$ gauge group at finite $N$. The construction employs the M\"obius inversion formula for set partitions, applied to…

We show that the 1/8 BPS condition for composite stationary black holes can be rewritten as a first order system of differential equations associated to the nilpotent orbit in which lie the Noether charges of the black holes. Solving these…

The basic feature of the BCS theory is that pairing occurs between electrons in states with opposite momentum and opposite spins, e.g., between states (k) and (-k), in which the symbols of vectors are neglected, and later theories followed…

We review the recent developments in our understanding of non-BPS states and branes in string theory. The topics include 1) construction of unstable non-BPS D-branes in type IIA and type IIB string theories, 2) construction of stable…

We continue the analysis of BPS bounds started in arXiv:1110.2688, extending it to the full class of N=2 gauged supergravity theories with arbitrary vector and hypermultiplets. We derive the general form of the asymptotic charges for…

The 1/8 BPS $D^6\mathcal{R}^4$ coupling in type II string theory compactified on $T^2$ receives contributions from worldsheet instantons and anti-instantons wrapping the $T^2$, up to genus three in string perturbation theory. These involve…

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…

Motivated by the string theory analysis of arXiv:1108.6331, we construct a class of 1/8-BPS solutions of type IIB supergravity compactified on S^1 x T^4. In this duality frame our ansatz allows for a non-trivial NS-NS B-field which has been…

Superstrata are bound states in string theory that carry D1, D5, and momentum charges, and whose supergravity descriptions are parameterized by arbitrary functions of (at least) two variables. In the D1-D5 CFT, typical three-charge states…

We analyze string networks in 7-brane configurations in IIB string theory. We introduce a complex parameter M characterizing equivalence classes of networks on a fixed 7-brane background and specifying the BPS mass of the network as M_{BPS}…

The maximal giant graviton is a D-brane wrapping a maximal $S^3\subset S^5$ within $\text{AdS}_5\times S^5$. It represents an upper bound on the $R$ charge that can be carried by certain bulk states. We study the maximal giant and its…

We study the class of pulsating strings in AdS_5 x T^{1,1}. Using a generalized ansatz for pulsating string configurations we find new solutions of this class. Further we semiclassically quantize the theory and obtain the first correction…

We consider the scalar operators corresponding to semiclassical string states in AdS_5xS^5 with the three angular momenta in S^5 non-trivial. The string states recieve quantum corrections and we study the corresponding process on the gauge…

We study splitting and joining interactions of giant gravitons with angular momenta $N^{1/2}\ll J\ll N$ in the type IIB string theory on $AdS_5 \times S^5$ by describing them as instantons in the tiny graviton matrix model introduced by…

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 explore the 1/4 BPS configurations of the supersymmetric gauge theories on $R^{1+3} \times S^1$. The BPS bound for energy and the BPS equations are obtained and the characteristics of the BPS solutions are studied. These BPS…

We provide formulas for the entropy of free-string states depending on their mass, charges and size, both in bosonic and superstring theory (IIA or IIB). We properly define these quantities in full-fledged string theory. We then investigate…
