Diffusion theory establishes a fundamental connection between stochastic differential equations and partial differential equations. The solution of a partial differential equation known as the Fokker-Planck equation describes the…

We make an ansatz for the Mellin representation of the four-point amplitude of half-BPS operators of arbitrary charges at order $\lambda^{-\frac{5}{2}}$ in an expansion around the supergravity limit. Crossing symmetry and a set of…

We consider bosonic strings propagating on Euclidean adS_3, and study in particular the realization of various worldsheet symmetries. We give a proper definition for the Brown-Henneaux asymptotic target space symmetry, when acting on the…

In two dimensional conformal field theory the generating functional for correlators of the stress-energy tensor is given by the non-local Polyakov action associated with the background geometry. We study this functional holographically by…

Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large $N$ limits of certain conformal field theories in $d$ dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string theory) on the product of $d+1$-dimensional $AdS$ space with a…

The occurrence of stochastic resonance in bistable systems undergoing anomalous diffusions, which arise from density-dependent fluctuations, is investigated with emphasis on the analytical formulation of the problem as well as a possible…

We study the semi-classical dynamics of a scalar field in the background of a black hole in an asymptotically AdS (AAdS) spacetime, in the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity. The small diffeomorphism (gauge)…

The creation of 4d de Sitter (inflationary) boundary gluing two d5 de Sitter bulks on the classical as well as on quantum level (with account of brane QFT via corresponding trace anomaly induced effective action) is discussed. Quantum…

The Hartle-Hawking wave function in cosmology can be viewed as a decaying wave function with anti-de Sitter (AdS) boundary conditions. We show that the growing wave function in AdS familiar from Euclidean AdS/CFT is equivalent,…

The gravitational charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes is derived in $n$ dimensions. The analysis is performed in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge, without assuming any further boundary condition than the…

We study string propagation on $AdS_3$ times a compact space from an ``old fashioned'' worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory. We derive the spacetime CFT and its Virasoro and current algebras, thus establishing the…

The well-known brane world model of cosmology is an alternative to the standard model of cosmology, called {\Lambda}CDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) model. However, the quadratical energy density of the brane universe requires an undesirable…

The 5d dilatonic gravity action with surface counterterms, motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence and with contributions of brane quantum CFTs is considered with an AdS-like bulk. The role of quantum brane CFT consists in inducing…

We consider the four-point function of the stress tensor multiplet superprimary in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) with gauge group $SU(N)$ in the large $N$ and large 't Hooft coupling $\lambda\equiv g_\text{YM}^2N$ limit, which is…

We calculate the graviton's $\beta$-function in $AdS$ string-theoretic sigma-model, perturbed by vertex operators for Vasiliev's higher spin gauge fields in $AdS_5$. The result is given by $\beta_{mn}=R_{mn}+4T_{mn}(g,u)$ (with the AdS…

Motivated by the gauge/gravity duality, we introduce a numerical scheme based on generalized harmonic evolution to solve the Einstein field equations on asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. We work in global AdS5, which can be…

Brane-like vertex operators, defining backgrounds with the ghost-matter mixing in NSR superstring theory, play an important role in a world-sheet formulation of D-branes and M theory, being creation operators for extended objects in the…

By identifying a bosonic consistent truncation from the 1/4-BPS wrapped M5-brane geometry of Maldacena, Strominger and Witten in D = 11 supergravity and finding a supersymmetric extension, we recover an N = 2 D = 3 supergravity theory.…

The Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence (AdS/CFT) is one of the most significant findings in theoretical physics and forms the basis of this thesis. Although highly powerful, the main limitation of AdS/CFT is that AdS does…

We study supersymmetric $AdS_3\times \Sigma_2$ and $AdS_2\times \Sigma_3$ solutions, with $\Sigma_2=S^2,H^2$ and $\Sigma_3=S^3,H^3$, in five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets. The gauge groups…
