Integrated correlators with a Wilson line in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In the context of integrated correlators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM, we study the 2-point functions of local operators with a superconformal line defect. Starting from the mass-deformed N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2* theory in presence of a 1 2 $$ \frac{1}{

Holography at Work for Nuclear and Hadron Physics
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 The purpose of this review is to provide basic ingredients of holographic QCD to nonexperts in string theory and to summarize its interesting achievements in nuclear and hadron physics. We focus on results from a less stringy bottom‐up approach and review a stringy top‐down model with some calculational details.

1-form symmetry versus large N QCD
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We show that large N QCD does not have an emergent ℤ N 1-form symmetry. Our results suggest that a symmetry-based understanding of (approximate) confinement in QCD would require some further generalization of the notion of generalized global symmetries.

In‐Medium Effects in the Holographic Quark‐Gluon Plasma
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 We use the gauge/gravity duality to investigate various properties of strongly coupled gauge theories, which we interpret as models for the quark‐gluon plasma (QGP). In particular, we use variants of the D3/D7 setup as an implementation of the top‐down approach of connecting string theory with phenomenologically relevant gauge theories. We focus on the

4d/2d Correspondence: Instantons and W-Algebras [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis, we study the 4d/2d correspondence of Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa, which relates the class of 4-dimensional N=2 gauge theories (theories of class S) to a 2-dimensional conformal field theory. The 4d gauge theories are obtained by compactifying

The High Spin Expansion of Twist Sector Dimensions: The Planar 𝒩 = 4 Super Yang‐Mills Theory
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 This review is devoted to collecting some results on the high spin expansion of (minimal) anomalous dimension. Thanks to the recent rationale on integrability, planar 𝒩 = 4 super Yang‐Mills theory (or its AdS5 × S5 string counterpart) represents a very practicable field.

The Polyakov loop models in the large N limit: Correlation function and screening masses
, 2023 We explore the 't Hooft-Veneziano limit of the Polyakov loop models at finite baryon chemical potential. Using methods developed by us earlier we calculate the two- and $N$-point correlation functions of the Polyakov loops.

Supersymmetric Wilson loops via integral forms
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study supersymmetric Wilson loops from a geometrical perspective. To this end, we propose a new formulation of these operators in terms of an integral form associated to the immersion of the loop into a supermanifold. This approach provides a unifying

Holographic Duality with a View Toward Many‐Body Physics
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to introduce condensed matter physicists to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Discussion of string theory and of supersymmetry is avoided to the extent possible.

Precision matching of circular Wilson loops and strings in AdS 5 × S 5
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Previous attempts to match the exact N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Yang-Mills expression for the expectation value of the 12 $$ \frac{1}{2} $$-BPS circular Wilson loop with the semiclassical AdS 5 × S 5 string theory prediction were not successful at the
