This review describes the duality between color and kinematics and its applications, with the
aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the perturbative structure of gauge and gravity …

This review article provides a pedagogical introduction into various classes of chiral string
compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes. The main concern is to …

Advances in scattering amplitudes have exposed previously-hidden color-kinematics and
double-copy structures in theories ranging from gauge and gravity theories to effective field …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

Coupling fundamental quarks to QCD in the dual string representation corresponds to
adding the open string sector. Flavors therefore should be represented by space-time filling …

We extend the usual world-volume action for a Dp-brane to the case of N coincident Dp-
branes where the world-volume theory involves a U (N) gauge theory. The guiding principle …

In the course of closing supersymmetry on parallel M2 branes up to a gauge transformation,
following the suggestion in [J. Bagger, N. Lambert, Phys. Rev. D 75 (2007) 045020, hep …

A bstract We discuss N= 1 supergravity inflationary models based on two chiral multi-plets,
the inflaton and the goldstino superfield. Using superconformal methods for these models …

Scattering of fundamental states of type IIB supergravity and superstring theory is discussed
at low orders in perturbation theory in the background of a D-instanton. The integration over …

We study N= 1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N= 4 Yang-Mills
theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended …
