We review recent progress in studying mesons within gauge/gravity duality, in the context of
adding flavour degrees of freedom to generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our …

Aiming at nonexperts, the key mechanisms of higher-spin extensions of ordinary gravities in
four dimensions and higher are explained. An overview of various no-go theorems for low …

We construct three dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge groups U (N)× U
(N) and SU (N)× SU (N) which have explicit Script N= 6 superconformal symmetry. Using …

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 …

We derive the one loop mixing matrix for anomalous dimensions in Script N= 4 Super Yang-
Mills. We show that this matrix can be identified with the hamiltonian of an integrable SO (6) …

We review recent progress and future prospects for harnessing powerful tools from
theoretical high-energy physics, such as scattering amplitudes and effective field theory, to …

We compute the correlation functions of R-charge currents and components of the stress-
energy tensor in the strongly coupled large-N finite-temperature Script N= 4 supersymmetric …

We discuss possible phase factors for the S-matrix of planar gauge theory, leading to
modifications at four-loop order as compared to an earlier proposal. While these result in a …

We compute the leading-color (planar) three-loop four-point amplitude of N= 4
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4-2 ϵ dimensions, as a Laurent expansion about ϵ= 0 …

We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones
used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the …
