Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

O Aharony, SS Gubser, J Maldacena, H Ooguri, Y Oz - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
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 …

Black hole remnants and the information loss paradox

P Chen, YC Ong, D Yeom - Physics reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Forty years after the discovery of Hawking radiation, its exact nature remains elusive. If
Hawking radiation does not carry any information out from the ever shrinking black hole, it …

Non-supersymmetric AdS and the Swampland

H Ooguri, C Vafa - arXiv preprint arXiv:1610.01533, 2016 - arxiv.org
We propose to sharpen the weak gravity conjecture by the statement that, except for BPS
states in a supersymmetric theory, the gravitational force is strictly weaker than any electric …

A stress tensor for anti-de Sitter gravity

V Balasubramanian, P Kraus - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1999 - Springer
We propose a procedure for computing the boundary stress tensor associated with a
gravitating system in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. Our definition is free of ambiguities …

Surface terms as counterterms in the AdS-CFT correspondence

R Emparan, CV Johnson, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We examine the recently proposed technique of adding boundary counterterms to the
gravitational action for spacetimes which are locally asymptotic to anti–de Sitter spacetimes …

Towards a holographic dual of large-N c QCD

M Kruczenski, D Mateos, RC Myers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We study N f D6-brane probes in the supergravity background dual to N c D4-branes
compactified on a circle with supersymmetry-breaking boundary conditions. In the limit in …

Holographic modeling of nuclear matter and neutron stars

M Järvinen - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
I review holographic models for (dense and cold) nuclear matter, neutron stars, and their
mergers. I start by a brief general discussion on current knowledge of cold QCD matter and …

Aspects of holography for theories with hyperscaling violation

X Dong, S Harrison, S Kachru, G Torroba… - Journal of High Energy …, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We analyze various aspects of the recently proposed holographic theories with
general dynamical critical exponent z and hyperscaling violation exponent θ. We first find …

Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes: conserved quantities

A Ashtekar, S Das - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes are considered in a general dimension d 4. As one
might expect, the boundary conditions at infinity ensure that the asymptotic symmetry group …

The ads/cft correspondence

VE Hubeny - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We give a brief review of the AdS/CFT correspondence, which posits the equivalence
between a certain gravitational theory and a lower-dimensional non-gravitational one. This …
