Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we review the studies of field theories with a large
number of adjoint and fundamental fields, in the Veneziano limit. We concentrate in set‐ups …

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 …

We analyze the necessary and sufficient conditions for the preservation of supersymmetry
for bosonic geometries of the form R 1, 9− d× M d, in the common Neveu-Schwarz–Neveu …

A bstract In this work we present new solutions of type IIB supergravity based on wrapped
D5 branes. We propose that two of these backgrounds are holographically dual to Quantum …

We analyse the geometrical structure of supersymmetric solutions of type II supergravity of
the form 1, 9− n× M n with non-trivial NS flux and dilaton. Solutions of this type arise naturally …

We review various aspects of configurations of intersecting branes, including the conditions
for preservation of supersymmetry. In particular, we discuss the projection conditions on the …

We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N= 1
SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio N f/N c which can …

We study a bound state of fractional D3/D7-branes in the ten-dimensional space R 1, 5× R
4/Z 2 using the boundary state formalism. We construct the boundary actions for this system …

A bstract We find the gravity dual of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2* super-Yang-Mills theory on S 4 and
use holography to calculate the universal contribution to the corresponding S 4 free energy …
