A dual foliation treatment of General Relativity is presented. The basic idea of the construction is to consider two foliations of a spacetime by spacelike hypersurfaces and relate the two geometries. The treatment is expected to be useful…
The large $N$ reductions in gauge theories are identified with dimensional reductions with homogeneous distribution of the eigenvalues of the gauge field, and it is used to identify the corresponding closed string descriptions in the…
We precisely reproduce the perimeter law obeyed by Wilson loops on large spatial contours in planar N=2 SYM at strong coupling, as recently deduced using localization, by means of a dual holographic model. The relevant supergravity…
We review exact results in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on S^4 and its deformation. We first summarize the construction of rigid SUSY theories on curved backgrounds based on off-shell supergravity, then explain how to apply…
We perform a systematic study of S-duality for ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric non-linear abelian theories on a curved manifold. Localization can be used to compute certain supersymmetric observables in these theories. We point out that…
We introduce a diagramatic notation for supersymmetric gauge theories. The notation is a tool for exploring duality and helps to present the field content of more complicated models in a simple visual way. We introduce the notation with a…
We give an introduction to equivariant localization in supergravity, focusing on the application to four-dimensional theories and supersymmetric black holes.
We review the remarkable interplay between modular symmetries and supergravity, which has led to major advances in both physics and mathematics in recent decades. Our focus will be on four-dimensional models with $\mathcal{N}=1$ and…
We analyze the strong coupling behavior of the large N gauge theories in 4-dimensions with N=4 supersymmetry by making use of S-duality. We show that at large values of the coupling constant $\lambda=g_{YM}^2N$ the j-th non-planar amplitude…
We construct a large class of gauge theories with extended supersymmetry on four-dimensional manifolds with a Killing vector field and isolated fixed points. We extend previous results limited to super Yang-Mills theory to general…
Based on the earlier work [S.-S. Lee, Nucl. Phys. B 832, 567 (2010)], we derive a holographic dual for the D-dimensional U(N) lattice gauge theory from a first principle construction. The resulting theory is a lattice field theory of closed…
We study localization of five-dimensional supersymmetric $U(1)$ gauge theory on $\mathbb{S}^3 \times \mathbb{R}_{\theta}^{2}$ where $\mathbb{R}_{\theta}^{2}$ is a noncommutative (NC) plane. The theory can be isomorphically mapped to…
We find new $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ dualities through the twisted compactifications of 4d supersymmetric theories on $S^2$. Our findings include dualities for both $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ non-Abelian…
In this paper we study the holographic dual to a-maximization in five-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity. In particular, we apply the procedure described by Tachikawa to specific examples consisting of holographic duals to gauge theories…
We use large N duality to study brane/anti-brane configurations on a class of Calabi-Yau manifolds. With only branes present, the Calabi-Yau manifolds in question give rise to N=2 ADE quiver theories deformed by superpotential terms. We…
We study a class of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SU($N$) gauge theories with two massless hypermultiplets in the rank-two antisymmetric representation and $0\leq N_f\leq 4$ fundamental flavors. These theories are superconformal for…
We conjecture the form of the one-loop determinants for localized gauge theories with eight supersymmetries on $d$-dimensional spheres. Combining this with results for the localized action, we investigate the strong coupling behavior in the…
We present a comprehensive analysis of the prescription we recently put forward for the computation of real-time correlation functions using gauge/gravity duality. The prescription is valid for any holographic supergravity background and it…
We give a pedagogical introduction to the dynamics of N=2 supersymmetric systems in four dimensions. The topic ranges from the Lagrangian and the Seiberg-Witten solutions of SU(2) gauge theories to Argyres-Douglas CFTs and Gaiotto…
In this thesis we review some results on the generalization of the gauge/gravity duality to new cases by using T-duality and by including fundamental matter, finding applications to condensed matter physics. First, we construct new…
