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
Supergravity and a confining gauge theory: duality cascades and χSB-resolution of naked singularities
TL;DR: In this article, a non-singular pure-supergravity background dual to the field theory on all scales, with small curvature everywhere if the ‘t Hooft coupling gsM is large, was proposed.

Ads/CFT correspondence and symmetry breaking
Igor R. Klebanov,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the vacua of field theories where some of the gauge symmetry is broken by expectation values of scalar fields, and show how to calculate them from the behavior of perturbations to the AdS background near the boundary.

Adding flavor to AdS/CFT
Andreas Karch,Emanuel Katz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the back-reaction properties of D-branes are analyzed in the context of supersymmetric examples, and it is shown that most of these properties are not necessary to go beyond the probe limit in which one neglects the backreaction of the flavor.

All supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in five- dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, all purely bosonic supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions are classified, and explicit examples of new solutions are given, including a large family of plane-fronted waves and a maximally superymmetric analogue of the Godel universe which lifts to a solution of 11-dimensional supergravity that preserves 20 supersymmetries.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Electric - magnetic duality, monopole condensation, and confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the vacuum structure and spectrum of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group SU(2), and obtained exact formulas for electron and dyon masses and the metric on the moduli space of vacua.

Type iib superstrings, bps monopoles, and three-dimensional gauge dynamics
Amihay Hanany,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb branch of certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and the moduli spaces of magnetic monopoles are explained via string theory, and new phase transitions in three dimensions as well as new infrared fixed points and even new coupling constants are predicted from the string theory construction.

Solutions of four-dimensional field theories via m-theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb branch of a large family of four-dimensional N = 2 field theories with zero or negative beta function is studied, and explicit solutions for Coulomb branches are given.
