Gauge/string correspondence in curved space

چکیده
We discuss Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov proposal for the gauge/string theory correspondence for gauge theories in curved space. Specifically, we consider KlebanovTseytlin cascading gauge theory compactified on S. We explain regime when this gauge theory is a small deformation of the superconformal N = 1 gauge theory on the world volume of regular D3-branes at the tip of the conifold. We study closed string states on the leading Regge trajectory in this background, and attempt to identify the dual gauge theory twist two operators.

String Theory
We review basic aspects as well as recent developments in string theory. We discuss the correspondence between superstring theory on curved spaces and gauge theories in flat space-time, the computation of gluon scattering amplitudes using a topological string and the relation between four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and bosonic matrix models. We consider non-critical strings and t...
متن کاملQcd and String Theory
This talk begins with some history and basic facts about string theory and its connections with strong interactions. Comparisons of stacks of Dirichlet branes with curved backgrounds produced by them are used to motivate the AdS/CFT correspondence between superconformal gauge theory and string theory on a product of Anti-de Sitter space and a compact manifold. The ensuing duality between semi-c...
متن کاملQCD, diffraction and string theory
Recently, string theory on some specific curved backgroud spacetime geometries has been conjectured to be equivalent to certain gauge theories (AdS/CFT correspondence). This correspondence may be used to investigate the non-perturbative regime of gauge theories. I describe its application to the study of soft scattering amplitudes in a confining gauge theory. I describe two qualitatively differ...
متن کاملString junctions in curved backgrounds, their stability and dyon interactions in SYM
We provide a systematic construction of string junctions in curved backgrounds which are relevant in computing, within the gauge/gravity correspondence, the interaction energy of heavy dyons, notably of quark-monopole pairs, in strongly coupled SYM theories. To isolate the configurations of physical interest we examine their stability under small fluctuations and prove several general statement...
متن کاملInvestigation of k-string energy using the gauge/gravity correspondence
The AdS/CFT correspondence, or in a more general sense, the gauge/gravity correspondence, is a duality between a string theory or gravity defined on one space and a gauge theory living on the conformal boundary of the same space. The AdS/CFT correspondence has drawn a tremendous amount of attention since the late 1990’s. After all, it sounds so promising and exciting to connect two drastically ...
