A bstract We present a quantum M2 brane computation of the instanton prefactor in the
leading non-perturbative contribution to the ABJM 3-sphere free energy at large N and fixed …

The superconformal index Z of the 6d (2, 0) theory on S 5× S 1 (which is related to the
localization partition function of 5d SYM on S 5) should be captured at large N by the …

A bstract We consider the Schur index of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 U (N) SYM theory in 4d and its
holographic giant graviton-type expansion at finite N. We compute the world-volume brane …

A bstract We study to what extent, and in what form, the notion of gauge-string duality may
persist at finite N. It is shown, in the half-BPS sector, that the states of D3 giant graviton …

A bstract The flavored superconformal Schur index of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 U (N) SYM has finite
N corrections encoded in its giant graviton expansion in terms of D3 branes wrapped in AdS …

We compare large N expansion of the localization result for the free energy F in the 3d N= 6
superconformal U (N) k× U (N)− k Chern-Simons-matter theory to its AdS/CFT counterpart, ie …

A bstract We continue the holographic exploration of the conformal manifold of 3d\(\mathcal
{N}\)= 2 S-fold SCFTs constructed by gauging the flavor symmetry of the Gaiotto-Witten T [U …

A bstract We consider Schur line defect correlators in four dimensional\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 U
(N) SYM and their giant graviton expansion encoding finite N corrections to the large N limit …

A bstract In this note we analyze the semi-classical quantization of D3-branes in three
different holographic backgrounds in type IIB string theory. The first background is Euclidean …

We study M2-branes in $ AdS_4× S^ 7/\mathbb {Z} _k $ dual to 1/2 and 1/3 BPS vortex loop
operators in ABJM theory and compute their one-loop correction beyond the classical M2 …
