This talk begins with some history and basic facts about string theory and its connections with strong interactions. Comparisons of stacks of Dirichlet branes with curved backgrounds produced by them are used to motivate the AdS/CFT correspondence between superconformal gauge theory and string theory on a product of Anti-de Sitter space and a compact ...

Two-dimensional SCFTs from matter-coupled $$7D~N=2$$ 7DN=2 gauged supergravity
We study supersymmetric $$AdS_3\times M^4$$ AdS3×M4 solutions of $$N=2$$ N=2 gauged supergravity in seven dimensions coupled to three vector multiplets with $$SO(4)\sim SO(3)\times SO(3)$$ SO(4)∼SO(3)×SO(3) gauge group and $$M^4$$ M4 being a four ...

D3-brane loop amplitudes from M5-brane tree amplitudes
We study loop corrections to scattering amplitudes in the world-volume theory of a probe D3-brane, which is described by the supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld theory.

Supersymmetric RG flows and Janus from type II orbifold compactification
We study holographic RG flow solutions within four-dimensional $$N=4$$ N = 4 gauged supergravity obtained from type IIA and IIB string theories compactified on $$T^6/\mathbb {Z}_2\times \mathbb {Z}_2$$ T 6 / Z 2 × Z 2 orbifold with gauge, geometric and ...

String theory or field theory? [PDF]
The status of string theory is reviewed, and major recent developments - especially those in going beyond perturbation theory in the string theory and quantum field theory frameworks - are discussed. This analysis helps better understand the role and place of string theory in the modern picture of the physical world.

We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes.

Aspects of Topological String Theory [PDF]
Two aspects of the topological string and its applications are considered in this thesis. Firstly, non-perturbative contributions to the OSV conjecture relating four-dimensional extremal black holes and the closed topological string partition function ...

This article discusses the link between matrix models and string theory, giving emphasis on topological string theory and the Dijkgraaf–Vafa correspondence, along with applications of this correspondence and its generalizations to supersymmetric gauge theory, enumerative geometry, and mirror symmetry.

The subleading eikonal in supergravity theories
In this paper we study the subleading contributions to eikonal scattering in (super)gravity theories with particular emphasis on the role of both elastic and inelastic scattering processes.
