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 …

Double field theory: a pedagogical review

G Aldazabal, D Marques, C Nunez - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Double field theory (DFT) is a proposal to incorporate T-duality, a distinctive symmetry of
string theory, as a symmetry of a field theory defined on a double configuration space. The …

[BOK][B] String theory and M-theory: A modern introduction

K Becker, M Becker, JH Schwarz - 2006 - books.google.com
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 …

Double field theory

C Hull, B Zwiebach - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The zero modes of closed strings on a torus—the torus coordinates plus dual coordinates
conjugate to winding number—parameterize a doubled torus. In closed string field theory …

Unity of superstring dualities

CM Hull, PK Townsend - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
The effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N= 8 supergravity,
which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry. We show that this is broken by quantum …

Superspace duality in low-energy superstrings

W Siegel - Physical Review D, 1993 - APS
We extend spacetime duality to superspace, including fermions in the low-energy limits of
superstrings. The tangent space is a curved, extended superspace. The geometry is based …

Generalized metric formulation of double field theory

O Hohm, C Hull, B Zwiebach - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
The generalized metric is a T-duality covariant symmetric matrix constructed from the metric
and two-form gauge field and arises in generalized geometry. We view it here as a metric on …

A large-N reduced model as superstring

N Ishibashi, H Kawai, Y Kitazawa, A Tsuchiya - Nuclear Physics B, 1997 - Elsevier
A matrix model which has the manifest ten-dimensional N= 2 super Poincaré invariance is
proposed. Interactions between BPS-saturated states are analyzed to show that the …
