An important element of the $S$-matrix bootstrap program is the relationship between the modulus of an $S$-matrix element and its phase. Unitarity relates them by an integral equation. Even in the simplest case of elastic scattering, this…
Lattice Yang-Mills theories in any dimension may be regarded as coupled 1+1-dimensional integrable field theories. These integrable systems decouple at large center-of-mass energies, where the action becomes effectively anisotropic. This…
This paper studies in great detail a family of supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory we have recently found. For a generic curve on an S^3 in space-time the loops preserve two supercharges but we will…
We use $E_{8(8)}$ Exceptional Field Theory to construct the consistent truncation of IIB supergravity on $S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ to maximal 3-dimensional ${\cal N}=16$ gauged supergravity containing the ${\cal N}=(4,4)$ AdS$_3$ vacuum.…
String theory on AdS$_3$ with NS-NS fluxes admits a solvable irrelevant deformation which is close to the $T\bar{T}$ deformation of the dual CFT$_2$. This consists of deforming the worldsheet action, namely the action of the…
We compute the AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude for scattering of dilatons in type IIB string theory with pure RR flux on $AdS_3\times S^3\times M_4$ for $M_4=T^4$ or $K3$, to all orders in $\alpha'$ in a small AdS curvature expansion. This…
I give an overview of open, closed and heterotic N=2 strings. At the tree level I derive the effective field theories of all the strings, and discuss the group theory of the N=2 open string and the interaction between its open and closed…
We suggest that the (2,0) six dimensional field theory compactified on $S^1\times K3$ is the Matrix model description of both M-theory on $K3$ and the Heterotic string on $T^3$. This proposal is different from existing proposals for the…
This thesis is concerned with the study of scattering amplitudes in four-dimensional conformal field theories, more particularly the N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We study this theory first at tree level by using twistor space techniques and…
We work out the relation between automorphic forms on SO(s+2,2) and gauge one-loop corrections of heterotic K3 x T^2 string compactifications for the cases s=0,1. We find that one-loop gauge corrections of any orbifold limit of K3 can…
General positivity constraints linking various powers of observables in energy eigenstates can be used to sharply locate acceptable regions for the energy eigenvalues, provided that efficient recursive methods are available to calculate the…
We determine the one-loop deformation of the conformal symmetry of a general N}=2 superconformally invariant Yang-Mills theory. The deformation is computed for several explicit examples which have a realization as world-volume theories on a…
Strings on AdS3xS3xT4 with mixed Ramond-Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz flux are known to be classically integrable. This is a crucial property of this model, which cannot be studied by conventional worldsheet-CFT techniques.…
In this dissertation, we discuss how our understanding of the large-N spectrum of AdS/CFT has been deepened by integrability-based approaches. We begin with a comprehensive review of the integrability of the gauge theory spin-chain and that…
This Ph.D. thesis investigates effective field and string theories in which supersymmetry is realized and broken in various ways. Chapter 1 addresses effective theories with nonlinearly realized supersymmetry, constructed using the…
We study multi spin semiclassical strings in $AdS_3\times S^3 \times T^4$ background supported by a mixture of Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz (NS-NS) and Ramond-Ramond (R-R) fluxes. This `mixed flux' background has been recently proved to be…
In this paper, following the basic prescriptions of Gauge/String duality, we perform a strong coupling computation on \textit{classical} two point correlation between \textit{local} (single trace) operators in a gauge theory dual to $…
The main objective of this work is to isolate Effective Field Theory scattering amplitudes in the space of non-perturbative two-to-two amplitudes, using the S-matrix Bootstrap. We do so by introducing the notion of Effective Field Theory…
We first apply the transformation of mixing azimuthal and internal coordinate or mixing time and internal coordinate to the 11D M-theory with a stack N M2-branes to find the spacetime of a stack of N D2-branes with magnetic or electric flux…
We establish an efficient polynomial-complexity algorithm for one-loop calculations, based on generalized $D$-dimensional unitarity. It allows automated computations of both cut-constructible {\it and} rational parts of one-loop scattering…
