Journal ArticleDOI
Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory is discussed, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string theory on anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories, M2-branes and their gravity duals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed three dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge groups U(N) × U(n) and SU(N), SU(2) × SU (2) which have explicit = 6 superconformal symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hagedorn - deconfinement phase transition in weakly coupled large N gauge theories
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that weakly coupled, large $N, d$-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a class of compact spatial manifolds undergo deconfinement phase transitions at temperatures proportional to the inverse length scale of the manifold in question.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractional M2-branes
TL;DR: In this article, two generalizations of the = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge group U(n) × U(N) have been considered, and they are conjectured to describe M−N| fractional M2-branes localized at the orbifold singularity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider general aspects of N = 2 gauge theories in three dimensions, including their multiplet structure, anomalies and non-renormalization theorems.
