1. 1. AdS/CFT correspondence and c-extremization

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Roberto Goranci; [2017]
   Keywords : AdS CFT; c-extremization; Super Yang-Mills; Supergravity; M5 membrane; Conformal field theory; Anomalies; superconformal CFT; 6d SCFT; black string; String theory; compactification;

   Abstract : In this project we review the method of using c-extremization and computing anomalies to obtain AdS/CFT theories. We start with a quick introduction to CFT's and AdS/CFT correspondence which gives us the tools to later understand the 2D N= (2,0) SCFT and its gravity duals in particular AdS_5xS^5 and AdS_7xS^4 compactified on Riemann surfaces. ..

3. 2. Parallelizable manifold compactifications of D=11 Supergravity

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Roberto Goranci; [2016]
   Keywords : Supergravity; Compactification; Freund-Rubin; Parallelizable manifold; Fermion condensate; Holonomy; Scalar coset; squashed seven-sphere; Consistent truncations; Domain Walls; Membrane;

   Abstract : In this thesis we present solutions of spontaneous compactifications of D=11, N=1 supergravity on parallelizable manifolds S^1, S^3 and S^7. In Freund-Rubin compactifications one usually obtains AdS vacua in 4D, these solutions usually sets the fermionic VEV's to zero. READ MORE

4. 3. Supergravity and Kaluza-Klein dimensional reductions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Roberto Goranci; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This is a 15 credit project in basic supergravity. We start with the supersymmetry algebra to formulate the relation between fermions and bosons. This project also contains Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction on a circle. READ MORE
