These lectures are an introduction to gauge/gravity duality, presented at TASI 2010. The first three sections present the basics, focusing on $AdS_5 \times S^5$. The last section surveys a variety of ways to generate duals of reduced symmetry.

### Introduction to the Gauge/Gravity Duality

This chapter reviews relevant background material. It motivates the origin of the gauge/gravity duality within string theory and summarises the relevant entries in the holographic dictionary, which

### TASI Lectures on Applications of Gauge/Gravity Duality

We introduce the gauge/gravity, or AdS/CFT, correspondence with an eye towards its application to strongly coupled systems. We provide an overview of the duality, including the AdS/CFT dictionary and

### Some aspects of abelian and nonabelian T-duality and the gauge/gravity correspondence

In this thesis we study properties of type II supergravity solutions generated by abelian and nonabelian T-duality. Also we determine, through the gauge/gravity conjecture, some aspects of the eld

A series of four lectures given at the Australian National University in December 2011 for the 2nd Asia-Pacic

### The AdS/CFT correspondence and applications to QCD

In this dissertation, an introduction into the the subject of the AdS/CFT correspondence is presented. As a concrete example, we explore Maldacena’s original conjecture of a duality between N = 4

Integrability: From Statistical Systems to Gauge Theory
• 2019
This chapter gives a pedagogical review of the holographic duality between string theory and quantum field theory. The main focus is on the duality of maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills gauge theory

### Integrability in the AdS/CFT Correspondence

This chapter presents the two theories involved in the duality ($$\mathcal {N}=4$$ SYM and type IIB string theory) and the different versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

### Construction of bulk fields with gauge redundancy

A bstractWe extend the construction of field operators in AdS as smeared single trace operators in the boundary CFT to gauge fields and gravity. Bulk field operators in a fixed gauge can be thought

### The Ads/CFT correspondence for higher spin theories.

The aim of the thesis is to present a check of the Klebanov-Polyakov conjecture that relates the type. A minimal Vasiliev theory in the 4-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space with a theory of N scalar

### Supersymmetric AdS7 backgrounds in half-maximal supergravity and marginal operators of (1, 0) SCFTs

• Physics
• 2015
A bstractWe determine the supersymmetric AdS7 backgrounds of seven-dimensional half-maximal gauged supergravities and show that they do not admit any deformations that preserve all 16 supercharges.

### UV / IR relations in AdS dynamics

• Physics
• 1999
We point out that two distinct distance-energy relations have been discussed in the AdS-CFT correspondence. In conformal backgrounds they differ only in normalization, but in nonconformal backgrounds

### `Double-trace' deformations, boundary conditions and spacetime singularities

• Physics
• 2002
Double-trace deformations of the AdS/CFT duality result in a new perturbation expansion for string theory, based on a non-local worldsheet. We discuss some aspects of the deformation in the low

### Real-time gauge/gravity duality: prescription, renormalization and examples

• Physics
• 2009
We present a comprehensive analysis of the prescription we recently put forward for the computation of real-time correlation functions using gauge/gravity duality. The prescription is valid for any

### Holographic Coulomb branch vevs

• Physics
• 2006
We compute holographically the vevs of all chiral primary operators for supergravity solutions corresponding to the Coulomb branch of = 4 SYM and find exact agreement with the corresponding field

### The String dual of a confining four-dimensional gauge theory

• Physics
• 2000
We study N=1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N=4 Yang-Mills theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended brane source, arising
