1. Spinor-Helicity Formalism and ScatteringAmplitudes in Various Dimensions
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : In recent decades, spinor-helicity formalism has gained popularity as a useful tool for studyingscattering amplitudes in four dimensions. This formalism has been extended to higher dimensions,but there is still much work to be done around its application. READ MORE

2. Pure Yang-Mills amplitudes in 5 Dimensions : A study of vector boson amplitudes at 4 and 5 points
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : In this text we explore the case of pure Yang-Mills amplitudes in 5 spacetime dimensions for vector particles. Extending current toolsets such as the Spinor-Helicity formalism in 5D would be beneficial to the study of the various cases of super Yang-Mills and supergravity. READ MORE

3. Domain wall solutions in the AdS/CFT correspondence
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : In this thesis we study a particular realization of the Domain wall/Quantum Field Theory correspondence, a modification of the Anti de-Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence that is used to study deformations of a Conformal Field Theory. In theQuantum gravity side of the duality we analyze a N = 1 gauged supergravity theory in 7 dimensions which presents two different Anti de-Sitter vacua, one of which preserves the full supersymmetry and one that breaks half of the supercharges.

4. Review of compact spaces for type IIA/IIB theories and generalised fluxes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : In the present project we study compactifications of type IIA/IIB string theories on toroidal orbifolds. We present the moduli space for N=1 four-dimensional reductions and its topological properties. To fix the value of all moduli, we will construct the most general holomorphic superpotential W using a set of T-dual iterations for the fluxes. READ MORE

5. The double-copy method for supergravity amplitudes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : The double-copy construction enables the calculation of scattering amplitudes in theories of gravity by combining amplitudes from gauge theories. It relies on obtaining numerators that obey a duality between color and numerator factors, called color-kinematics duality. READ MORE
