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.

Wall-crossing, Hitchin Systems, and the WKB Approximation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered BPS states in a large class of d=4, N=2 field theories, obtained by reducing six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal field theories on Riemann surfaces, with defect operators inserted at points of the RiemANN surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the superconformal R-symmetry of any 4d SCFT is exactly determined by a maximization principle: it is the R symmetry, among all possibilities, which (locally) maximizes the combination of 't Hooft anomalies atrial(R)≡(9TrR3−3TrR)/32.

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Systems And Integrable Systems
Ron Donagi,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb branch of supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is described in general by an integrable Hamiltonian system in the holomorphic sense, and a natural construction of such systems comes from two-dimensional gauge theory and spectral curves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate electric-magnetic duality in N = 1 supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories in four dimensions by presenting two different gauge theories (different gauge groups and quark representations) leading to the same non-trivial long distance physics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic expansion for studying an infrared-stable fixed point of gauge theories with massless fermions and show that the transition between chirally symmetric and asymmetric phases is generally first order.
