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 …

U-duality and M-theory

NA Obers, B Pioline - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
This work is intended as a pedagogical introduction to M-theory and to its maximally
supersymmetric toroidal compactifications, in the frameworks of 11D supergravity, type II …

Sampling using gauge equivariant flows

D Boyda, G Kanwar, S Racanière, DJ Rezende… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We develop a flow-based sampling algorithm for SU (N) lattice gauge theories that is gauge
invariant by construction. Our key contribution is constructing a class of flows on an SU (N) …

[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 …

3d dualities from 4d dualities

O Aharony, SS Razamat, N Seiberg… - Journal of High Energy …, 2013 - Springer
A bstract Many examples of low-energy dualities have been found in supersymmetric gauge
theories with four supercharges, both in four and in three space-time dimensions. In these …

TASI lectures on solitons

D Tong - arxiv preprint hep-th/0509216, 2005 - arxiv.org
These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics
of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections …

D-branes at singularities: A bottom-up approach to the string embedding of the standard model

G Aldazabal, LE Ibanez, F Quevedo… - Journal of High Energy …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a bottom-up approach to particle physics model building from string theory. We
start this program by using configurations of type-IIB D3-and D7-branes located at …

Linear dilatons, NS5-branes and holography

O Aharony, M Berkooz, N Seiberg… - Journal of High Energy …, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We argue that vacua of string theory which asymptote at weak coupling to linear dilaton
backgrounds are holographic. The full string theory in such vacua is “dual” to a theory …

M (atrix) theory: Matrix quantum mechanics as a fundamental theory

W Taylor - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2001 - APS
This article reviews the matrix model of M theory. M theory is an 11-dimensional quantum
theory of gravity that is believed to underlie all superstring theories. M theory is currently the …
