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 give a pedagogical review of how concepts from quantum information theory build up
the gravitational side of the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence. The review …

In this paper we use the AdS/CFT correspondence to refine and then establish a set of old
conjectures about symmetries in quantum gravity. We first show that any global symmetry …

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 black-hole information paradox provides one of the sharpest foci for the conflict between
quantum mechanics and general relativity and has become the proving-ground of would-be …

We explore the extent to which a local string theory dynamics in anti-de Sitter space can be
determined from its proposed Conformal Field Theory (CFT) description. Free fields in the …

We study string propagation on $ AdS_3 $ times a compact space from an``old
fashioned''worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory. We derive the spacetime …

We obtain exact expressions for the quasinormal modes of various spin for the Bañados-
Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole. These modes determine the relaxation time of black hole …

In this report we review the microscopic formulation of the five-dimensional black hole of
type IIB string theory in terms of the D1–D5 brane system. The emphasis here is more on the …

A bstract We construct the first example of a superstratum: a class of smooth horizonless
supergravity solutions that are parameterized by arbitrary continuous functions of (at least) …
