[BOOK][B] Gauge/string duality, hot QCD and heavy ion collisions

J Casalderrey-Solana, H Liu, D Mateos, K Rajagopal… - 2014 - library.oapen.org
Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

An exact prediction of supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory for string theory

N Drukker, DJ Gross - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
We propose that the expectation value of a circular BPS-Wilson loop in N= 4 supersymmetric
Yang–Mills can be calculated exactly, to all orders in a 1/N expansion and to all orders in g 2 …

From weak to strong coupling in ABJM theory

N Drukker, M Marino, P Putrov - Communications in mathematical physics, 2011 - Springer
The partition function of N= 6 supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theory (known as ABJM
theory) on S^ 3, as well as certain Wilson loop observables, are captured by a zero …

Instanton contributions to the ABJM free energy from quantum M2 branes

M Beccaria, S Giombi, AA Tseytlin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We present a quantum M2 brane computation of the instanton prefactor in the
leading non-perturbative contribution to the ABJM 3-sphere free energy at large N and fixed …

S Giombi, AA Tseytlin - Physical review letters, 2023 - APS
The Wilson loop operator in the U (N) k× U (N)-k Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena
theory at large N and fixed level k has a dual description in terms of a wrapped M2-brane in …

Semiclassical quantization of rotating superstring in AdS5× S5

S Frolov, AA Tseytlin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
Motivated by recent proposals in hep-th/0202021 and hep-th/0204051 we develop
semiclassical quantization of superstring in AdS 5× S 5. We start with a classical solution …

Quantized strings and instantons in holography

FF Gautason, VGM Puletti, J van Muiden - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study worldsheet instantons in holographic type IIA backgrounds directly in
string theory. The first background is a dimensional reduction of AdS 7× S 4 and is dual to …

Scale invariance of the η-deformed AdS5× S5 superstring, T-duality and modified type II equations

G Arutyunov, S Frolov, B Hoare, R Roiban, AA Tseytlin - Nuclear Physics B, 2016 - Elsevier
We consider the ABF background underlying the η-deformed AdS 5× S 5 sigma model. This
background fails to satisfy the standard IIB supergravity equations which indicates that the …

Half-BPS Wilson loop and AdS2/CFT1

S Giombi, R Roiban, AA Tseytlin - Nuclear Physics B, 2017 - Elsevier
We study correlation functions of local operator insertions on the 1/2-BPS Wilson line in N= 4
super Yang–Mills theory. These correlation functions are constrained by the 1d …

Comments on gluon scattering amplitudes via AdS/CFT

LF Alday, J Maldacena - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
In this article we consider n gluon color ordered, planar amplitudes in Script N= 4 super
Yang Mills at strong't Hooft coupling. These amplitudes are approximated by classical …
