Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes with Poincare invariance along the boundary can describe, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, either relevant deformations of a conformal field theory or non-conformal vacuum states. I consider examples…

In this thesis we study some applications of the gauge/gravity correspondence. In chapter 1 we introduce the gauge/gravity conjecture focusing on the aspects that will be relevant in the rest of the work, in chapter 2 we extend the…

A holographic duality is proposed relating quantum gravity on dS_D (D-dimensional de Sitter space) to conformal field theory on a single S^{D-1} ((D-1)-sphere), in which bulk de Sitter correlators with points on the boundary are related to…

We consider the problem of computing N=2 superconformal block functions. We argue that the Kazama-Suzuki coset realization of N=2 superconformal algebra in terms of the affine sl(2) algebra provides relations between N=2 and affine sl(2)…

We consider the strong coupling limit of conformal gauge theories in 4 dimensions. The action of the loop operator on the minimal area in the AdS space is analyzed, and the Schwinger-Dyson equations of gauge theory are checked. The general…

We study the Feynman graph structure and compute certain exact four-point correlation functions in chiral CFT$_4$ proposed by \"{O}.G\"{u}rdo\u{g}an and one of the authors as a double scaling limit of $\gamma$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM…

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we compute the tree-level four-point boundary scalar correlation function for a scalar field conformally coupled to the graviton field on Euclidean AdS4. We assume that the dynamics of the graviton field is…

Based on prototypical example of Al.Zamolodchikov's recursion relations for the four point conformal block and using recently proposed Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) conjecture, recursion relations are derived for the generalized…

Correlation functions of CFT operators with infinite scaling dimension are rich, multifaceted objects that describe physics ranging across classical holography, black hole dynamics, and flat-space scattering amplitudes. In this work, we…

I report on recent progress in the description of baryon-baryon systems within chiral effective field theory. In particular, I discuss results for the strangeness S=-3 to -4 baryon-baryon systems, obtained to leading order.

We systematically study the AdS/CFT correspondence induced by D3 branes probing three dimensional Gorenstein quotient singularity $\mathbb{C}^3/G$. The field theory is given by the McKay quiver, which has a vanishing NSVZ beta function…

We computed a set of structures which appear in the four-point function of protected operators of dimension two in $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang Mills with $SU(N)$ gauge group, at any order in a large $N$ expansion. They are determined only by…

Self-dual theories, being UV-finite, should have their own AdS/CFT dualities. Higher-spin extensions of self-dual theories are attractive to simplify the CFT duals. The maximal self-dual theory is Chiral higher-spin gravity, which should be…

AGT allows one to compute conformal blocks of d = 2 CFT for a large class of chiral CFT algebras. This is related to the existence of a certain orthogonal basis in the module of the (extended) chiral algebra. The elements of the basis are…

In the first part of this lecture, some very basic ideas in supersymmetry and supergravity are presented at a level accessible to readers with modest background in quantum field theory and general relativity. The second part is an outline…

The use of the AdS/CFT correspondence to arrive at quiver gauge field theories is dicussed, focusing on the orbifolded case without supersymmetry. An abelian orbifold with the finite group $Z_{p}$ can give rise to a $G = SU(N)^p$ gauge…

We study $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity at finite temperature coupled to matter. The matter fields are related to superconformal primaries by AdS/CFT duality. Due to broken super reparametrisation invariance…
