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 …

We give a pedagogical review of how concepts from quantum information theory build up
the gravitational side of the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence. The review …

Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in
quantum field theories (QFTs) with a duality symmetry. Recent investigations have shown …

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 …

The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on $ AdS $ space and
boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of ${\cal N}= 4$ super Yang …

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 …

We calculate the Weyl anomaly for conformal field theories that can be described via the
adS/CFT correspondence. This entails regularizing the gravitational part of the …

Warped compactifications with significant warping provide one of the few known
mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate …

This indispensable work offers a broad synoptic description of beams, applicable to a wide
range of other devices, such as low-energy focusing and transport systems and high-power …

We revisit the singular IIB supergravity solution describing M-fractional 3-branes on the
conifold [hep-th/0002159]. Its 5-form flux decreases, which we explain by showing that the …
