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 review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an
emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After …

Many string theories contain states which are not BPS, but are stable due to charge
conservation. In many cases the description of these states in the strong coupling limit …

We consider string junctions with endpoints on a set of branes of IIB string theory defining an
ADE-type gauge Lie algebra. We show how to characterize uniquely equivalence classes of …

We study the BPS spectrum of the theory on a D3-brane probe in F-theory. The BPS states
are realized by multi-string configurations in space-time. Only certain configurations obeying …

We construct and explore BPS states that preserve 1/4 of supersymmetry in N= 4 Yang-Mills
theories. Such states are also realized as three-pronged strings ending on D 3-branes. We …

We argue for the existence of many new 1 4 BPS states in N= 4 SU (Nc) Super-Yang-Mills
theory with Nc⩾ 3, by constructing them from supersymmetric string webs whose external …

We review various aspects of configurations of intersecting branes, including the conditions
for preservation of supersymmetry. In particular, we discuss the projection conditions on the …

We discuss brane webs preserving eight supercharges and derive geometries produced by
them. Consistency conditions of supergravity are shown to impose certain requirements on …

Webs of domain walls are constructed as 1/4 Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) states
in d= 4, N= 2 supersymmetric U (NC) gauge theories with NF hypermultiplets in the …
