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 show that the large-N limits of certainconformal field theories in various dimensions
includein their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter …

Direct evaluation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential is accomplished following the
localization programme suggested in [1]. Our results agree with all low-instanton …

In the first part of this paper we find supergravity solutions corresponding to branes on
worldvolumes of the form Rd× Σ where Σ is a Riemann surface. These theories arise when …

Low-energy, near-horizon scaling limits of black holes which lead to string theory on AdS2×
S2 are described. Unlike the higher-dimensional cases, in the simplest approach all finite …

We consider a class of line operators in d=4,N=2 supersymmetric field theories, which leave
four supersymmetries unbroken. Such line operators support a new class of BPS states …

We study string propagation on $ AdS_3 $ times a compact space from an``old
fashioned''worldsheet point of view of perturbative string theory. We derive the spacetime …

We show that the resolution of moduli space of ideal instantons parameterizes the
instantons on noncommutative ℝ 4. This moduli space appears to be the Higgs branch of the …

A bstract Six-dimensional conformal field theories with (2, 0) supersymmetry are shown to
possess a protected sector of operators and observables that are isomorphic to a two …
