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 …

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 …

We propose to sharpen the weak gravity conjecture by the statement that, except for BPS
states in a supersymmetric theory, the gravitational force is strictly weaker than any electric …

A bstract As a refinement of the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we propose that a
quantum gravitational theory in an infinite distance limit of its moduli space either …

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 Two-dimensional conformal field theories exhibit a universal free energy in the
high temperature limit T→∞, and a universal spectrum in the Cardy regime, Δ→∞. We show …

Via compactification on a circle, the matrix mode] of M-theory proposed by Banks et a].
suggests a concrete identification between the large N limit of two-dimensional N= 8 …

In these lecture notes we describe recent progress in our understanding of attractor
mechanism and entropy of extremal black holes based on the entropy function formalism …

We show that the meromorphic Jacobi form that counts the quarter-BPS states in N= 4 string
theories can be canonically decomposed as a sum of a mock Jacobi form and an Appell …
