The $\mathbf{Ad}{\mathbf{S}}_5\times {\mathbf{S}}^5$ Superstring

Abstract

The duality between the type IIB superstring theory in an $Ad{S}_5\times S^5$ background with $N$ units of five-form flux and $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang--Mills theory with a $U(N)$ gauge group has been studied extensively. My version of the construction of the superstring world-sheet action is reviewed here. This paper is dedicated to Michael Duff on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
