High Energy Theory Seminar

November 24, 2014 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

I will present recent results on the computation of finite N corrections in supergravity in the context of AdS2/CFT1 and AdS4/ABJM holography. I will show how to use localisation in supergravity to compute all perturbative and nonperturbative charge...

We shall review the evidence for a duality between 11-dimensional supergravity
(and hopefully M-theory) and the dynamics of a spinning massless particle on the
infinite-dimensional coset G(Z)\G/K(G) where G=E_{10} is the hyperbolic Kac-Moody...

We present integral equations for the area of minimal surfaces in AdS_3 ending on generic smooth boundary contours. The equations are derived from the continuum limit of the AMSV result for null polygonal boundary contours. Remarkably these...
