The dilatation operator of N= 4 super Yang–Mills theory and integrability

N Beisert - Physics Reports, 2004 - Elsevier
In this work we review recent progress in four-dimensional conformal quantum field theories
and scaling dimensions of local operators. Here we consider the example of maximally …

Spinning strings and integrable spin chains in the AdS/CFT correspondence

J Plefka - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2005 - Springer
In this introductory review we discuss dynamical tests of the AdS 5× S 5 string/\mathcalN=4
Super Yang-Mills duality. After a brief introduction to AdS/CFT, we argue that semiclassical …

Long-range PSU (2, 2| 4) Bethe ansaetze for gauge theory and strings

N Beisert, M Staudacher - Nuclear Physics B, 2005 - Elsevier
We generalize various existing higher-loop Bethe ansätze for simple sectors of the
integrable long-range dynamic spin chain describing planar N= 4 super-Yang–Mills theory …

Searching for realistic 4d string models with a Pati–Salam symmetry. Orbifold grand unified theories from heterotic string compactification on a Z6 orbifold

T Kobayashi, S Raby, RJ Zhang - Nuclear Physics B, 2005 - Elsevier
Motivated by orbifold grand unified theories, we construct a class of three-family Pati–Salam
models in a Z6 Abelian symmetric orbifold with two discrete Wilson lines. These models …

Planar 𝒩= 4 gauge theory and the Inozemtsev long range spin chain

D Serban, M Staudacher - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate whether the (planar, two complex scalar) dilatation operator of Script N= 4
gauge theory can be, perturbatively and, perhaps, non-perturbatively, described by an …

Lectures on ads/cft

JM Maldacena - Progress in String Theory: TASI 2003 Lecture …, 2005 - books.google.com
In these lecture notes we provide a short introduction to the ideas related to the
correspondence between gauge theories and gravity theories. For other reviews of the …

Spinning strings and AdS/CFT duality

AA Tseytlin - From Fields to Strings: Circumnavigating Theoretical …, 2005 - World Scientific
We review a special class of seraiclassical string states in AdS5× S5 which have a regular
expansion of their energy in integer powers of the ratio of the square of the string tension ('t …

Introduction to ads-cft

H Nastase - arXiv preprint arXiv:0712.0689, 2007 - arxiv.org
These lectures present an introduction to AdS-CFT, and are intended both for begining and
more advanced graduate students, which are familiar with quantum field theory and have a …

Semiclassical strings and AdS/CFT

AA Tseytlin - String Theory: From Gauge Interactions to Cosmology …, 2006 - Springer
We discuss AdS/CFT duality in the sector of “semiclassical” string states with large quantum
numbers. We review the coherent-state effective action approach, in which similar 2d sigma …
