Anti-de Sitter space and holography
- E. Witten
- Physics
- 20 February 1998
Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large $N$ limits of certain conformal field theories in $d$ dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string theory) on the product of…
String theory and noncommutative geometry
- N. Seiberg, E. Witten
- Mathematics, Physics
- 20 August 1999
We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally…
Quantum field theory and the Jones polynomial
- E. Witten
- Mathematics
- 1 September 1989
It is shown that 2+1 dimensional quantum Yang-Mills theory, with an action consisting purely of the Chern-Simons term, is exactly soluble and gives a natural framework for understanding the Jones…
Electric - magnetic duality, monopole condensation, and confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
- N. Seiberg, E. Witten
- Physics
- 15 July 1994
Perturbative Gauge Theory as a String Theory in Twistor Space
- E. Witten
- Mathematics, Physics
- 15 December 2003
Perturbative scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory have many unexpected properties, such as holomorphy of the maximally helicity violating amplitudes. To interpret these results, we Fourier…
Supersymmetry and Morse theory
- E. Witten
- Physics
- 1982
It is shown that the Morse inequalities can be obtained by consideration of a certain supersymmetric quantum mechanics Hamiltonian. Some of the implications of modern ideas in mathematics for…
Topological quantum field theory
- E. Witten
- Physics, Mathematics
- 1 February 1988
A twisted version of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is formulated. The model, which refines a nonrelativistic treatment by Atiyah, appears to underlie many recent developments in…
