Flux compactifications in string theory: A comprehensive review
M Grana - Physics reports, 2006 - Elsevier
We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic
ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed-string fluxes in type-II …

Unquenched flavor in the gauge/gravity correspondence
Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we review the studies of field theories with a large
number of adjoint and fundamental fields, in the Veneziano limit. We concentrate in set‐ups …

The baryonic branch of Klebanov-Strassler solution: A supersymmetric family of SU (3) structure backgrounds
We exhibit a one-parameter family of regular supersymmetric solutions of type IIB theory that
describes the baryonic branch of the Klebanov-Strassler (KS) theory. The solution is …

Towards the string dual of supersymmetric QCD-like theories
We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N= 1
SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio N f/N c which can …

Introduction to the AdS-CFT correspondence
A Zaffaroni - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
These are introductory notes on the anti-de Sitter-conformal field theory (AdS-CFT)
correspondence. We discuss the basic properties of the duality known as AdS-CFT. We …
