Strings in flat space and pp waves from 𝒩= 4 Super Yang Mills

D Berenstein, J Maldacena… - Journal of High Energy …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We explain how the string spectrum in flat space and pp-waves arises from the large-N limit,
at fixed g 2 YM, of U (N) Script N= 4 super Yang Mills. We reproduce the spectrum by …

The SAGEX review on scattering amplitudes Chapter 8: Half BPS correlators

P Heslop - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Half BPS correlators in $\mathcal {N}= 4$ super Yang–Mills theory are key quantities both in
the AdS/CFT correspondence as well as in scattering amplitudes research. They are dual at …

Bubbling AdS space and 1/2 BPS geometries

H Lin, O Lunin, J Maldacena - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider all 1/2 BPS excitations of AdS× S configurations in both type-IIB string theory
and M-theory. In the dual field theories these excitations are described by free fermions …

Operator growth in 2d CFT

We compute the meson spectrum of an Script N= 2 super Yang-Mills theory with
fundamental matter from its dual string theory on AdS 5× S 5 with a D7-brane probe [1]. For …

Holography and correlation functions of huge operators: spacetime bananas

J Abajian, F Aprile, RC Myers, P Vieira - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We initiate the study of holographic correlators for operators whose dimension
scales with the central charge of the CFT. Differently from light correlators or probes, the …

Exact stringy microstates from gauge theories

JH Lee - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We study how the microstates of BPS sectors in string theory are organized in the
dual U (N) gauge theory. The microstates take the form of a coherent sum of stacks of branes …
