Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has the potential to reveal wonders
about the fundamental theory of nature at play in the extreme gravity regime, where the …

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 show that the large-N limits of certainconformal field theories in various dimensions
includein their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter …

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 …

Bekenstein has proposed the bound S≤ π MP 2 L 2 on the total entropy S in a volume L 3.
This nonextensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume …

A bstract We test various conjectures about quantum gravity for six-dimensional string
compactifications in the framework of F-theory. Starting with a gauge theory coupled to …

A bstract We examine the mechanism of moduli stabilization by fluxes in the limit of a large
number of moduli. We conjecture that one cannot stabilize all complex-structure moduli in F …

Due to the failure of thermodynamics for low temperature near-extremal black holes, it has
long been conjectured that a'thermodynamic mass gap'exists between an extremal black …

The exact formula derived by us earlier for the entropy of a four dimensional nonrotating
black hole within the quantum geometry formulation of the event horizon in terms of …

A bstract The KKLT scenario, one of the few ideas to realize dS vacua in string theory,
consists of two steps: the first involves the construction of a supersymmetric AdS vacuum …
