International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We compute the phase and the modulus of an energy‐ and pressure‐free, composite, adjoint, and inert field ϕ in an SU(2) Yang‐Mills theory at large temperatures. This field is physically relevant in describing part of the ground‐state structure and the quasiparticle masses of excitations. The field ϕ possesses nontrivial S1‐winding on the group manifold

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

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.

Quantization conditions and the double copy
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We formulate Wilson loop observables as products of eikonal Wilson lines given in terms of on-shell scattering amplitudes. We derive the eikonal phases for dyons in both gauge theory and gravity, which we use to derive the Dirac-Schwinger-Zwanziger ...

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.

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.

Conformal constraints on defects
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this paper we study the constraints imposed by conformal invariance on extended objects a.k.a. defects in a conformal field theory. We identify a particularly nice class of defects that is closed under conformal transformations.

Minimal area surfaces in AdS n+1 and Wilson loops
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 The AdS/CFT correspondence relates the expectation value of Wilson loops in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM to the area of minimal surfaces in AdS 5. In this paper we consider minimal area surfaces in generic Euclidean AdS n+1 using the Pohlmeyer reduction ...

Bootstrapping a stress-tensor form factor through eight loops
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We bootstrap the three-point form factor of the chiral stress-tensor multiplet in planar N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at six, seven, and eight loops, using boundary data from the form factor operator product expansion.

Toward precision holography in type IIA with Wilson loops
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study the one-loop effective action of certain classical type IIA string configurations in AdS4 × ℂℙ3. These configurations are dual to Wilson loops in the N=6 $$ \mathcal{N}=6 $$ U(N) k × U(N)−k Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter whose expectation
