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 …

Aspects of superstring cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmological
implications of duality symmetries in the theory. The string effective actions are summarized …

Supersymmetric ten-dimensional Yang-Mills theory coupled to N= 1, D= 10 supergravity has
gauge and gravitational anomalies that can be partially cancelled by the addition of suitable …

We study candidate vacuum configurations in ten-dimensional O (32) and E 8× E 8
supergravity and superstring theory that have unbroken N= 1 supersymmetry in four …

Warped compactifications with significant war** provide one of the few known
mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate …

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 …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

It is shown that low-energy string theory admits a variety of solutions with the structure of an
extended object surrounded by an event horizon. In particular there is a family of black string …

We construct the covariant κ-symmetric superstring action for a type IIB superstring on
AdS5⊕ S5 background. The action is defined as a 2d σ-model on the coset superspace SU …

We construct the non-linear Kaluza-Klein ansätze describing the embeddings of the U (1) 3,
U (1) 4 and U (1) 2 truncations of D= 5, D= 4 and D= 7 gauged supergravities into the type …
