Duality and Integrability in Superstring and Gauge Field Theory [PDF]
In the present thesis, we explore certain aspects of superstring and supersymmetric gauge field theory, independently as well as in the context of the holographic duality.The first part of the thesis is devoted to classical integrability and, in particular, to certain methods of analytic non-integrability, which are employed on various supergravity vacua.

Universal criticality of thermodynamic geometry for boundary conformal field theories in gauge/gravity duality [PDF]
According to more recent AdS/CFT interpretation \cite{Karch:2015rpa}, in which varying cosmological constant $ $ in the bulk corresponds to varying the curvature radius governing the space on which the field theory resides, we study the criticality of thermodynamic curvatures for thermal boundary conformal field theories (CFT) that are dual to $d ...

Local duality symmetry in gauge field theories
We develop the idea of local duality symmetry (LDS) in gauge field theories. Using Clifford algebra techniques we construct dually invariant scalar Lagrangian of electrodynamics in the presence of sources and demonstrate that in tensor formalism it is exactly the same as the usual one. Then we localize the duality symmetry with two possible options for

Gauge Symmetry and Howe Duality in 4D Conformal Field Theory Models [PDF]
It is known that there are no local scalar Lie fields in more than two dimensions. Bilocal fields, however, which naturally arise in conformal operator product expansions, do generate infinite Lie algebras. It is demonstrated that these Lie algebras of local observables admit (highly reducible) unitary positive energy representations in a Fock space ...

Inverse Magnetic Catalysis in Field Theory and Gauge-Gravity Duality [PDF]
We investigate the surface of the chiral phase transition in the three-dimensional parameter space of temperature, baryon chemical potential and magnetic field in two different approaches, the field-theoretical Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the holographic Sakai-Sugimoto model.

YANGIANS IN INTEGRABLE FIELD THEORIES, SPIN CHAINS AND GAUGE-STRING DUALITIES [PDF]
In the following paper, which is based on the author's PhD thesis submitted to Imperial College London, we explore the applicability of Yangian symmetry to various integrable models, in particular, in relation with S-matrices. One of the main themes in this work is that, after a careful study of the mathematics of the symmetry algebras one finds that ...

Thermodynamics of a field theory with an infrared fixed point from gauge/gravity duality [PDF]
We use gauge/gravity duality to study the thermodynamics of a field theory with asymptotic freedom in the ultraviolet and a fixed point in the infrared. We find a high temperature quark-gluon phase and a low T conformal unparticle phase. The phase transition between the phases is of first order or continuous, depending on the ratio of the radii of ...
