We construct families of supersymmetric AdS$_3\times Y_7$ and AdS$_3\times Y_8$ solutions to type IIB string theory and M-theory, respectively. Here $Y_7$ is an $S^5$ fibration over $\Sigma$, while $Y_8$ is an $S^4$ fibration over…

We construct new supersymmetric $\mathrm{AdS}_2\times \mathbb{M}_4$ solutions of $D=6$ gauged supergravity, where $\mathbb{M}_4$ are certain four-dimensional orbifolds. After uplifting to massive type IIA supergravity these correspond to…
We construct asymptotically AdS_5 solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory dual to N=4 SYM theory on R^{3,1} in the presence of a background magnetic field. The solutions interpolate between AdS_5 and a near horizon AdS_3\times T^2. The central…
The magnon dispersion of Ca$_2$RuO$_4$ has been studied by polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering experiments on crystals containing 0, 1 and 10 % of Ti. The entire dispersion of transverse magnons can be well described by a…
Using general local conservations laws we derive dispersion relations for edge modes in a slab of electron liquid confined by a symmetric potential. The dispersion relations are exact up to $\lambda^{2} q^{2}$, where $q$ is a wave vector…
We present a class of orthogonal membrane configurations which preserve 1/4 of the full type IIA supersymmetry. These membrane configurations carry additional F-string charges. We further analyze the D1-D3 configuration after applying T-…
We study various rotating and oscillating D-string configurations in some general backgrounds with fluxes. In particular, we look for solutions to the equations of motion of various rigidly rotating D-strings in $AdS_3$ background with…
We study a simple class of orbifolds of the N=6 Chern-Simons Matter theory proposed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena. They are considered as a world volume theory of membranes probing C^4/ (Z_k x Z_n) and include a new membrane…
A long standing problem is the supergauge completion of AdS_4 x (G/H)_7 or AdS_5 x (G/H)_5 backgrounds which preserve less then maximal supersymmetry. In parallel with the supersolvable realization of the AdS_4 x S^7 background based on…
Very recently Fonseca and Pires [Phys. Rev. B 73, 012403(2006)] have studied the soliton--magnon scattering for the isotropic antiferromagnet and calculated ``exact'' phase shifts, which were compared with the ones obtained by the Born…
We analyze supersymmetric solutions of M-theory based an a seven-dimensional internal space with SU(3) structure and a four-dimensional maximally symmetric space. The most general supersymmetry conditions are derived and we show that a…
This dissertation consists of a comprehensive and pedagogical review of Maldacena's original derivation of the AdS/CFT correspondence and the main topics of string theory necessary to understand it. The large $N$ expansion of Yang-Mills…
Relativistic integrable field theories like the sine-Gordon equation have an infinite set of conserved charges. In a light-front formalism these conserved charges are closely related to the integrable modified KdV hierarchy at the classical…
We consider the $AdS$ Veneziano amplitude describing the scattering of four gluons in type IIB string theory on $AdS_5 \times S^3$. We propose a set of powerful monodromy relations between different colour-ordered amplitudes. These…
We demonstrate using micromagnetic simulations and a theoretical model that a gradient in the saturation magnetization ($M_s$) of a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic film induces a non-reciprocal spin wave propagation and,…
Giant magnon solutions play an important role in various aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We apply the dressing method to construct an explicit formula for scattering states of an arbitrary number N of magnons on R x S^3. The solution…
Under the six-dimensional heterotic/type $IIA$ duality map, a solitonic membrane solution of heterotic string theory transforms into a singular solution of type $IIA$ theory, and should therefore be interpreted as a fundamental membrane in…
We discuss collisionless kinetic equations describing the non-equilibrium dynamics of magnons in a ferromagnet exposed to an oscillating microwave field. Previously, this problem has been treated within the so-called "S-theory" where the…
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, an AdS_2 x S^2 D3-brane with electric flux in AdS_5 x S^5 spacetime corresponds to a circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation or a multiply wound one in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. In order to…
