An Exact Prediction of N=4 SUSYM Theory for String Theory
Nadav Drukker, David J. Gross
We propose that the expectation value of a circular BPS-Wilson loop in N=4 SUSYM can be calculated exactly, to all orders in a 1/N expansion and to all orders in g^2 N. Using the A…

Sphalerons, Merons and Unstable Branes in AdS
Nadav Drukker, David J. Gross, N. Itzhaki
We construct unstable classical solutions of Yang-Mills theories and their dual unstable states of type IIB on AdS_5. An example is the unstable D0-brane of type IIB located at the…

Green-Schwarz String in AdS_5 x S^5: Semiclassical Partition Function
Nadav Drukker, David J. Gross, Arkady Tseytlin
A systematic approach to the study of semiclassical fluctuations of strings in AdS_5 x S^5 based on the Green-Schwarz formalism is developed. We show that the string partition func…
