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 …

We present the string dual to SU (N c)\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) SYM, coupled to N f massless
fundamental flavors, at finite temperature and baryon density. The solution is determined by …

We study the field equations of extensions of general relativity formulated within a metric-
affine formalism setting torsion to zero (Palatini approach). We find that different (second …

A bstract In this paper we study aspects of geometries in Type IIA and Type IIB String theory
and elaborate on their field theory dual pairs. The backgrounds are associated with …

We propose a string dual to the SU (N c)\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) SYM coupled to N f massless
fundamental flavors in an external magnetic field. The flavors are introduced by …

We study different aspects of a U-duality recently presented by Maldacena and Martelli and
apply it to non-extremal backgrounds. In particular, starting from new non-extremal wrapped …

A bstract In the context of the type IIA/IIB superstring theories, we derive the left-right
entanglement entropy (LREE) of a BPS Dp-brane with transverse motion in the presence of …

A bstract We construct novel classes of compact G2 spaces from lifting type IIA flux
backgrounds with O6 planes. There exists an extension of IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds for …

A bstract We introduce a magnetic analogue of the seven-dimensional nonassociative
octonionic R-flux algebra that describes the phase space of M2-branes in four-dimensional …

A bstract We argue that M-theory/massive IIA backgrounds including KK-monopoles are
suitably described in the language of G-structures and their intrinsic torsion. To this end, we …
