Introduction to the Pinch Technique

These notes are a short introduction to the pinch technique. We present the oneloop calculations for basic QCD Green’s functions. The equivalence between the pinch technique and the background field method is explicitly shown at the one-loop level. We review the absorptive pinch technique in the last sections. These lectures are a compilation of relevant papers on this subject and are prepared ...

A brief account is given of the problems involved in extended the pinch technique beyond the one-loop level, and of investigations into one possible approach to solving them.

Ja n 20 08 N = 4 SYM on K 3 and the AdS 3 / CFT 2 Correspondence

We study the Fareytail expansion of the topological partition function of N = 4 SU (N) super Yang-Mills theory on K3. We argue that this expansion corresponds to a sum over geometries in asymptotically AdS 3 spacetime, which is holographically dual to a large number of coincident fundamental heterotic strings.
