In this review article, we describe the role of holography in deciphering the physics of dense
QCD matter, relevant for the description of compact stars and their binary mergers. We …

We develop an approach to Khovanov homology of knots via gauge theory (previous
physics-based approaches involved other descriptions of the relevant spaces of BPS states) …

We show that all half-BPS Wilson loop operators in Script N= 4 SYM–which are labeled by
Young tableaus–have a gravitational dual description in terms of D5-branes or alternatively …

This is a review on brane effective actions, their symmetries and some of their applications.
Its first part covers the Green-Schwarz formulation of single M-and D-brane effective actions …

We study whether the relations between the Weyl anomaly, entanglement entropy (EE), and
thermal entropy of a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT) extend to 2D …

We study solutions of Type IIB supergravity, which describe the geometries dual to
supersymmetric Wilson lines in Script N= 4 super-Yang-Mills. We show that the solutions are …

A bstract In this work (which supersedes our previous preprint [1]) we determine the
expectation value of the\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) SU (N) SYM Lagrangian density operator in the …

In the holographic framework, a half BPS Wilson loop in\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) supersymmetric
Yang-Mills in the fundamental, symmetric or antisymmetric representation of SU (N), is best …

A bstract The 1/2-BPS Wilson loop in\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is
an important and well-studied example of conformal defect. In particular, much work has …
