We study quantum corrections in the earlier proposed string theory, which is based on Weyl invariant purely extrinsic curvature action. At one-loop level it remains Weyl invariant irrespective of the dimension D of the embedding spacetime.…

We propose supertwistor realisations of $(p,q)$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces in three dimensions and $\cal N$-extended AdS superspaces in four dimensions. For each superspace, we identify a two-point function that is invariant under the…

We review for non-experts possible phenomenological scenari in String Theory. In particular we focus on vacuum configurations with intersecting and/or magnetized unoriented D-branes. We will show how a TeV scale tension may be compatible…

The action of a Weyl group on the associated weight lattice induces an additive action on the symmetric algebra and a multiplicative action on the group algebra of the lattice. We show that the coinvariant space of the multiplicative action…

We investigate the unitarity of strings on non-trivial space-time backgrounds based on gauged WZNW models involving SO(n,2), gauging an SO(n,1) subgroup. As geometric coset spaces, these are Anti de Sitter spaces. Our present models are…

It was recently shown how to break supersymmetry in certain $AdS_3$ spaces, without destabilizing the background, by using a ``double trace'' deformation which localizes on the boundary of space-time. By viewing spatial sections of $AdS_3$…

We study the quotients of n+1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by one-parameter subgroups of its isometry group SO(2,n) for general n. We classify the different quotients up to conjugation by O(2,n). We find that the majority of the classes…

We construct propagators in Euclidean AdS(d+1) space-time for massive p-forms and massive symmetric tensors.

We study the perturbative stability of four settings that arise in String Theory, when dilaton potentials accompany the breaking of Supersymmetry, in the USp(32) and U(32) orientifold models, and also in the heterotic SO(16)xSO(16) model.…

We study the possible D-brane configurations in an AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 background with a NS-NS B field. We use its WZW model description and the boundary state formalism, and we analyze the bosonic and the N=1 supersymmetric cases separately.…

An SL-invariant extension of the concurrence to higher local Hilbert-space dimension is due to its relation with the determinant of the matrix of a $d\times d$ two qudits state, which is the only SL-invariant of polynomial degree $d$. This…

We consider a class of $2+D$ - dimensional string backgrounds with a target space metric having a covariantly constant null Killing vector and flat `transverse' part. The corresponding sigma models are invariant under $D$ abelian isometries…

Massless spinning particle and tensionless string models on $AdS_d$ background in the projective-space realization are proposed as constrained Hamiltonian systems. Various forms of particle and string Lagrangians are derived and classical…

We show that the anti-de Sitter(AdS) space naturally emerges from the conformal field theory(CFT). The behavior of the leading divergent term in the entanglement entropy implies the underlying AdS geometry. The coefficient of the leading…

We study the dimensionality manifested in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that the dimensionality as expressed by the high temperature behavior of a system has a holographic nature also at the quantum level. The emergence of the AdS…

We use N=1 superspace to construct the supersymmetric matter couplings of vector and hyper multiplets in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime background. For hypermultiplets, we find that AdS_5 supersymmetry requires the scalar…

We study the `string star' saddle, also known as the Horowitz-Polchinski solution, in the middle of d+1 dimensional thermal AdS space. We show that there's a regime of temperatures in which the saddle is very similar to the flat space…

In this review, we retrace the recent progress in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) instability problem. By instability we mean that for large classes of initial data, any perturbation of AdS space-time, however small, leads to the formation of a…

A review of the construction of a Weyl-invariant spinning-membrane action that is $polynomial$ in the fields, without a cosmological constant term, comprised of quadratic and quartic-derivative terms, and where supersymmetry is linearly…

We propose a simple unfolded description of free massive higher spin particles in anti-de-Sitter spacetime. While our unfolded equation of motion has the standard form of a covariant constancy condition, our formulation differs from the…
