Supersymmetry and Duality in Field Theory and String Theory
E. Kiritsis
This is a set of lectures given at the 99' Cargese Summer School: Particle Physics : Ideas and Recent Developments. They contain a pedestrian exposition of recent theoretical progr…
Duality and Instantons in String Theory
E. Kiritsis
In these lecture notes duality tests and instanton effects in supersymmetric vacua of string theory are discussed. A broad overview of BPS-saturated terms in the effective actions…
Thermodynamics of D-brane Probes
E. Kiritsis, T. R. Taylor
We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of particle and D-brane probes moving in non-extremal black hole/brane backgrounds. When a probe falls from asymptotic infinity to the ho…
Supergravity, D-brane Probes and thermal super Yang-Mills: a comparison
E. Kiritsis
A D3-brane probe in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence at finite temperature is considered. The supergravity predictions for the physical effective couplings of the world-volume…
