Ngoja and Six Theories of Witchcraft Eradication

Six-Dimensional String Theories

We consider N = 1, D = 4 superconformal U(N) Yang-Mills theories dual to AdS5 × S/Zp × Zq orbifolds. We construct the dilatation operator of this superconformal gauge theory at one-loop planar level. We demonstrate that a specific sector of this dilatation operator can be thought of as the transfer matrix for a two-dimensional statistical mechanical system, related to an integrable SU(3) antife...

Superconformal Theories in Six Dimensions

This thesis consists of an introductory text, which is divided into two parts, and six appended research papers. The first part contains a general discussion on conformal and superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, and treats how the corresponding transformations act on space-time and superspace fields. We specialize to the case with chiral (2, 0) supersymmetry. A formalism is presented for ...

Penrose Limit and Six - Dimensional Gauge Theories

We study the Penrose limit of the (p, q) fivebranes supergravity background. We consider the different phases of the worldvolume field theory and their weakly coupled descriptions. In the Penrose limit we get a solvable string theory and compute the spectrum. It corresponds to states of the six-dimensional worldvolume theory with large energy and large U(1) charge. We comment on the RG behavior...

Six challenges in the eradication of infectious diseases.

Eradication and elimination are increasingly a part of the global health agenda. Once control measures have driven infection to low levels, the ecology of disease may change posing challenges for eradication efforts. These challenges vary from identifying pockets of susceptibles, improving monitoring during and after the endgame, to quantifying the economics of disease eradication versus sustai...
