A Short Introduction to Quantum Computing for Physicists
Oswaldo Zapata
These notes provide an introduction to standard topics on quantum computation and communication for those who already have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics. The main target a…
On Facts in Superstring Theory. A Case Study: The AdS/CFT Correspondence
Oswaldo Zapata
Despite the lack of experimental confirmation and of unambiguous theoretical proof, superstring theory has long been considered by many the only consistent quantized theory of grav…
String Theory: A Theory of Unification
Oswaldo Zapata
These notes on string theory are based on a series of talks I gave during my graduate studies. As the talks, this introductory essay is intended for young students and non-string t…
Strings on AdS_3 x S^3 and the Plane-Wave Limit. Issues on PP-Wave/CFT Holography
Oswaldo Zapata
In this thesis we give explicit results for bosonic string amplitudes on AdS_3 x S^3 and the corresponding plane-wave limit. We also analyze the consequences of our approach for un…
String amplitudes in the Hpp-wave limit of AdS3xS3
M. Bianchi, G. D'Appollonio, E. Kiritsis +1
We compute string amplitudes on pp-waves supported by NS-NS 3-form fluxes and arising in the Penrose limit of AdS3xS3xM. We clarify the role of the non-chiral accidental SU(2) symm…
On Hpp-wave/CFT_2 Holography
Oswaldo Zapata
We briefly review the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence and the holographic issues that arise in the Penrose limit. Exploiting current algebra techniques, developped by D'Appollonio and Kir…
