We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

Conformal techniques are applied to the calculation of integrals on AdSd+ 1 space which
define correlators of composite operators in the superconformal field theory on the d …

In these lecture notes we first assemble the basic ingredients of supersymmetric gauge
theories (particularly N= 4 super-Yang-Mills theory), supergravity, and superstring theory …

We treat free large N superconformal field theories as holographic duals of higher spin (HS)
gauge theories expanded around AdS spacetime with radius R. The HS gauge theories …

We find new, local, non-supersymmetric conformal field theories obtained by relevant
deformations of the N= 4 super Yang Mills theory in the large N limit. We contruct …

In this paper we explore some of the features of large N supersymmetric and
nonsupersymmetric gauge theories using Maldacena's duality conjectures. We show that …

We consider a free massive spinor field in Euclidean Anti-de Sitter space. The usual Dirac
action in bulk is supplemented by a certain boundary term. The boundary conditions of the …

General conjectures about the SL (2, cZ) modular transformation properties of N= 4
superYang-Mills correlation functions are presented. It is shown how these modular …

At zero temperature the Coulomb Branch of N= 4 super Yang-Mills theory is described in
supergravity by multi-center solutions with D3-brane charge. At finite temperature and …

We start with an n− point correlation function in a conformal gauge theory. We show that a
special limit produces a polygonal Wilson loop with n sides. The limit takes the n points …
