Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

O Aharony, SS Gubser, J Maldacena, H Ooguri, Y Oz - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
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 …

Light-front holographic QCD and emerging confinement

SJ Brodsky, GF de Teramond, HG Dosch, J Erlich - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its
holographic map** to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and …

Supergravity and a confining gauge theory: Duality cascades and χSB-resolution of naked singularities

IR Klebanov, MJ Strassler - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the singular IIB supergravity solution describing M-fractional 3-branes on the
conifold [hep-th/0002159]. Its 5-form flux decreases, which we explain by showing that the …

Quasinormal modes of AdS black holes and the approach to thermal equilibrium

GT Horowitz, VE Hubeny - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
We investigate the decay of a scalar field outside a Schwarzschild anti–de Sitter black hole.
This is determined by computing the complex frequencies associated with quasinormal …

AdS-CFT correspondence and a new positive energy conjecture for general relativity

GT Horowitz, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
We examine the AdS-CFT correspondence when gauge theory is considered on a
compactified space with supersymmetry-breaking boundary conditions. We find that the …

Meson spectroscopy in AdS/CFT with flavour

M Kruczenski, D Mateos, RC Myers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We compute the meson spectrum of an Script N= 2 super Yang-Mills theory with
fundamental matter from its dual string theory on AdS 5× S 5 with a D7-brane probe [1]. For …

Towards a holographic dual of large-N c QCD

M Kruczenski, D Mateos, RC Myers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We study N f D6-brane probes in the supergravity background dual to N c D4-branes
compactified on a circle with supersymmetry-breaking boundary conditions. In the limit in …

Chiral symmetry breaking and pions in nonsupersymmetric gauge/gravity duals

J Babington, J Erdmenger, N Evans, Z Guralnik… - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
We study gravity duals of large N nonsupersymmetric gauge theories with matter in the
fundamental representation by introducing a D7-brane probe into deformed AdS …

The Pomeron and gauge/string duality

RC Brower, J Polchinski, MJ Strassler… - Journal of High Energy …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
The traditional description of high-energy small-angle scattering in QCD has two
components—a soft Pomeron Regge pole for the tensor glueball, and a hard BFKL Pomeron …

Glueball mass spectrum from supergravity

C Csaki, H Ooguri, Y Oz, J Terning - Journal of High Energy …, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate the spectrum of glueball masses in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in
three and four dimensions, based on a conjectured duality between supergravity and large …
